Are you sure there is not another wire on the BAT post at the starter solenoid. If nothing is connected there or directly to the battery it is very hard to understand how the car is being powered because nothing else in a feedback path could supply the power to the places needed for the car to run or have lights work.

Normally there would be a short length of 10ga red wire with a thin flag terminal coming out of the loom. That wire has some splices inside the loom and feeds the voltage regulator before it goes inside to power the headlight switch, body circuit breaker and ignition switch. Sometimes the wire out of the loom is very short and if it has lost color then with the flag terminal laying flat it is almost hidden against the case of the solenoid or under the battery cable.

If it is in fact missing and the battery cable and connection is stock then I am truly confused as to what someone could have done.
