Default No voltage anywhere

Go to start my '76 Trans Am, and when I turn the key, absolutely nothing happens. No power to any of the accessories, lights, dash, etc. Obviously, nothing happening at the starter.

Checked basic connections under the hood. Wire to the alternator from the hot was nice and tight, ground to the block was fine. Hot to the starter was connected. It's a 4 speed, and the lock out mechanism seems to work. I can't pull out the key, unless I am in reverse. Connected jumper cables from my other car. Nothing.

Guessing that it might be the ignition switch, I looked for videos on replacing the switch, but I only find how to replace the cylinder.

Being a parts replacer and not a mechanic, this might sound like a stupid question, but where is the electrical switch, and how can I replace it?

Or, could it be some other wire/relay that might have come loose?
