Is the fusable link from the posative battery cable still in place & is
it in working condition? On my first 69, I accidently shorted it out.
With this shorted, there is no power to the starter. If its not that, I
would suspect something wrong with the relay, even though you just
changed it. Try jumping the relay with a remote starter switch if you
have one, if not carefully use a screwdriver. If it cranks, it tells
you the starter is ok & likely either the relay or fusable link. I
wouldn't entirely rule out the ignition switch, but its far less
likely.
