It won't engage the starter with the key?
Did you smell or see any smoke?

I think backfire might be a result of losing ignition power.The only power I have is headlights,flasher and horn. All else is dead. No dash indicators, all is dead including wipers.

Check the ignition switch. They had a ton of problems with them back then.

The fusible links will be attached to the starter solenoid, next to the battery.
