OK, the shutting off could be a few things. Ignition switch, main (dogbone) fuse, wires on top of the starter relay, loose or broken connection just about anywhere in the ignition circuit.
Most likely, on top of the relay, but since you're already there, change the main fusetoo.
In an earlier post you said the PO drilled the plenum. What exactly does that mean?

Yes, holes in the air cleaner housing may cause a lean condition. I see those listed on eBay and ******'s for pretty cheap. Might be worth doing.
Meanwhile, some duct tape will let you know if the holes are the cause of your problem.
