Default Electrical - battery backwards

76 l48 - just got it 2 weeks ago...

The P.O. has both battery terminals black. I was trying to get the vette into the garage before the hurricane hit, and I powered it up wrong...Fusiable links melted the casing but the wire stayed in tact.

Replaced the 2 by the starter, and have Zero power...
Whats next?

TIA

Get out your test light--- Bet that the fusible links are open. Hook the battery up (correctly please) and check both sides of the links, and at the starter extension harness.

There is probably another one under the master cylinder.
