I just now found time to get a reply to this posted. Sorry for the delay.
This sounds like you don't have ignition. If the gauges aren't working, but the dash lights are, then it's probably more basic than a simple no-spark condition.
But let's start there to be thorough.
On the coil, you should have 2 low voltage terminals, labeled "1" and "15".
Terminal "1" should have a fairly small black with a purple tracer wire, a white wire, and the green wire from the distributor points connected to it.
Terminal "15" should have a larger black with a red tracer wire connected to it. Take a test light and hook the wire from it to the negative side of the coil. Touch the point on the test light to the positive side of the battery (to verify the test light actually works!!!!).
Remove the black with a red tracer wire from pin 15 on the coil, and hook it to the point on the test light. The light should not be lit. Turn the key to the on position. The light should light up.
If it does not light up, remove the 12 pin connector from the relay board. It will be located on the right rear of the relay board. Take the test light and ground it somewhere close to the relay board. A good place is where the ground point is just in front of the relay board on the inside wall of the engine compartment.
Touch the point of the light to pin 7 of the 12 pin connector that is part of the relay board. To find pin 7, you look for the row of pins on the driver's side of the plug, and count 3 up from the rear. With the key off, the test light should be off. With the key on, the test light should light.
If it lights, the problem is in the engine harness. If it doesn't we move to the next step.
Unplug the 14 pin connector on the front of the relay board. Match the plug up to the relay board and find pin 8. It is the center pin in the back row. Touch the test light to the female pin in the harness that matches pin 8 on the relay board. With the key off, the test light should be off. With the key on, the test light should light.
If it lights up, replace the relay board. If it doesn't, we need to move farther up the harness.
Now it gets fun.. We need to move inside the car and find the fuse box. It is located under the dash on the left side.
Using the test light grounded to the light switch in the door jamb, check both sides of fuse 9 to see if the light comes on with the key on. Fuse 9 is the fourth fuse from the right on the fuse block. If the test light does not light, then we have to move on to the ignition switch. If it lights on both sides of the fuse, then we have a broken wire between the fuse box and the relay board (not likely, unless someone has cut up the harness at some time or another).
Now you need to drop the knee pad from the bottom of the dash so we can get to the ignition switch. Two little screws in the outboard ends of the kneepad, and IIRC, 8 bigger ones along the bottom. Then just pull it away from the insturment panel to remove it.
Now on the back of the ignition switch, we need to check the heavy red wire to see if it has power. IF the car will crank over but not fire, then the heavy red wire has power. With the ignition switch plugged into the harness, turn the key on, and use the test light to see if the black wire has power. If it doesn't, replace the electrical portion of the igniton switch.
This shoud get you started on troubleshooting your ignition problems. When you get a spark, then we can start on the L-jet injection repairs.
