1980 35FC won't start via the ignition, please help

[Bruce Morris]

John, since Blue Birds are builders of both the chassis and the coach
they don't have the traditional chassis fuse panel you are used to
seeing. Most of the chassis related wiring is in the front load center
which you have opened up on the front driver's side.
