Default HELP!! speedometer blinking!! and no power to start

so i did a tank lift, relocate coil and ignition, went to go start it.....

fuelpak lit up, and then speedometer just started blinking. would not do anything, no blinkers, not fuel injection. nothing.

could it be the battery?? and during the lift, there was one connector that did not connect to anything, i looked for awhile and couldnt figure this out, might sound dumb but i dont have the time to work on it in one sitting ;(

i need help!! any ideas?

Something did not get plugged back in correctly or at all, better tripple check.

When in doubt charge the battery then check fuses then start tracing the wires for unpluged conectors also check that the connectors are still in good order and a wire hasn't pulled loose from one of them.Also ckeck wiring hasn't been pinched or damaged.Hope you trace the culprit soon and out enjoying the new look.H.
