Much like the topic states. I started this issue the other day, I went out to the car to go to work and no power. After some investigating I still have 12 V at the coil wires and with the key in the ignition and the "On" position, I could operate all of the ignition switched operations, such as the power windows, wipers.... and now the fuel pump. The fuel pump was originally connect to a 12V power source in a battery slot on the fuse box, switched it to and ignition slot. I also did not have headlights, radio, dome lights, power door locks, taillights, bascially everything that has a constant hot wire. The car would fire and continue running, so I was late for work. Leave from work and have power back to everything. I figured that I had an intermittent working ignition switch, so but a new one in and now I don't have anything again. This problem has shown itself it to weather conditions to date, raining and cold weather. Though I do live in florida , it is dewwy every morning. Have yet to locate a bad ground or loose wire. I am going nuts, needless to say I want to punch a hole in something. Any ideas guys, all are welcome. b/c at this point I ready to put a sign on it and sell.......doubt it would happen. The car is a 1981 malibu with an msd ignition 6 al and coil - billet distributor and the most recent work has been the replacing of the 200-4r with another one.

after posting this, the head had a light bulb click, there is a loose wire on the harness that was going across the trans tunnel, for now I tied them up higher and no problems. I think the fusible link is in there and it loose
