won't start

my 79 z28 won't start. i drove it nights ago before the battery died. i had to get a new one and i just installed it and now the car will turn over but it won't start. also all my guages r just limp. anybody know how to narrow things down for me?

Start by checking all your fuses then check for spark at the plugs.

yeah i had checked the fuses and the gauge fuse is out so im going to replace it tomorrow. the engine is gettin any fire so I'm hoping it's this fuse

U said the battery died....can the alternator be going bad??? it might not have enough juice to fire it up now. Check the voltage at the battery....should be ideally 12 volts or more...if its less, I would replace the alternator. If its a carburetor, check to see if gas is going down the barrel. Check to make sure u have spark at the wires. Let us know what the problem was.

well i figured it out...after i had checked everything and even traced most of the wires to see if any were messed up i questioned the integrity of the battery and took it to autozone to have them check it (god bless free service) and they said it wasn't holding a charge so i took it back to the battery place and they looked it over and discovered it was a bad battery...they fixed it and charged it up and it's fine now. Thanks for everyones help
