There is good advice so far in this thread. When I bought my 62 Catalina 8 years ago, the only thing electrical on the car that worked was the starter and 1 brake light. The car did run. Nothing else electrical worked. Turned out to just be lousy connections at the fuse box and fuses themselves. I pulled the fuse box off the firewall, removed all the fuses and cleaned all the terminals with a Dremel tool and tiny wire wheel. Then new fuses and dialectric grease. Same with some light sockets, ignition switch, you get the picture. Everything came back to life and has been fine for the next 7 years so far. With your no start, follow the cranking circuit in the wiring diagram and clean everything, making checks along the way with a test light. Pretty simple circuit fortunately. Good luck.
