    40 ford coupe with 8BA traditional hot rod. All was well until no start, found no power to ignition switch from fuse block. Hot wired from solenoid to switch and it started. All fuses in block are good. Do I have a bad fuse block ?

    You need to trace the hot wire from the ignition switch to the fuse block. You also need a voltmeter or at least a test light so you can pin down where the circuit is open.

    if you have the original on off switch and starter ****on- check to see if the wire nuts are tight behind the column drop.
