Ignition Problem 1974 Charger

I recently purchased a 1974 dodge charger with a 318. I ran good for a couple of weeks but one day I came out to go to work and it would not start.
I turn the key and there is absolute silence, no clicking nothing turns over.
It has a new battery and I traced from the ignition switch to the positive termanal of the ignition coil. When I turn the Key there is power to the coil. So I changed the coil but it still wont start.
Anyone have any advice for a non-electrician.
