I have a 73 Charger Rallye Coupe that isn't getting any power. The battery was not fully charged and tried to jump start it. It cranked a few times, but then there was nothing at all. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Need help figuring why there isn't any power.

Kind of a vague description on your issue, what exactly do you mean "no power"? Lights work? Get a click click?
Load test your battery and check your ground to start. Until we hear more about your problem...

We need alot more information , bad connection somewhere ! Starter relay burnt up? B resistor broke ? NSS went bad ? Amp gauge broke or bad connection there ! Lots off things I'd start with charging the battery and making sure terminal s are tight and clean. If nothing go down the line make sure car is in park or N jump starter relay do this and check back with results

Sounds like either a dead cell in the battery or bad grounds.

If a battery is too dead for a jump, it will act that way too.

Yes, step #1 is take your battery to Autozone for a free charge & test (about 45 minutes).

Hello, and welcome.
I replaced the battery and checked all connections and all seem to be ok. There are no lights and no clicking when ignition is turned on. It has an electric ignition. I also changed the B resistor and starter relay, still nothing.

Do you have one of the probe light testers that clip onto ground and has the sharp tip for probing? I consider them essential when it come to chasing power loss issues. Start and the battery and move back.. You should have a wire connected to the same start relay post the battery cable is connected to. That wire should have a fusible link feeding the bulkhead connector. From there you will have to go inside and check/chase voltages. Hopefully you have a wiring diagram (another essential item). If you don't at least have one, send me your email address and I'll send what I have.
