I pulled the 318 from my 74 Roadrunner about a year ago. It was running at the time. Finally got it back in, got everything (I think) hooked up, tried the starter, and... nothing. The starter will crank if it's jumped, but it has no spark.

I do get power to most things when I turn the key on.

Does anyone have any ideas of where to start?
 
Check fire wall socket to make sure wiring harness is fully plugged in. Maybe pull it out and reset it to make good contact. Then check at ballast resistor to see if 6-8 volts with the key in the RUN position.
 
Check over your wiring,
also like Tony said check the bulk head connection.
Also ck the starter relay .
 
Sounds like lacking ground on starter relay coming from the neutral safety switch.
 
Specifically, look at the solid blue (run +) and solid brown (crank +) wires from the bulkhead
