Sounds like a bad fuseable link or alturnator gauge.

Will the engine crank if you connect the two wire posts comming out of the starter? (bridge them with a screwdriver or piece of metal) Give that a try, if it cranks, hotwire the coil and see if it will start.

If the alt gauge is bad, or terminals loose or broken, then nothing will work.

Try wiggling your bulkhead connector. A common problem in old mopars is corrosion of the connector of the main power wire running through the ammeter.
