I just installed a new BeCool - Spal dual 11" electric fan on my 67 GTO. It now runs cool!

But, about the 4th time I went to start it cranked a few times and now I get no power to any items that are linked to the ignition switch!

Did my new fan cause this trouble? (I did not use a relay in hooking up the fan) I have no heater so I put a 30amp fuse in the heater spot on the fuse block and used that spot to hook up the fan.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

IF the fan current is going thru your ignition switch, it is very likely that some part of that circuit, i.e. switch, wires, connections, have deteriorated. You should always use a relay to power those high current loads.
