I am new to ham radio.

I was given an Icom 735.

Set up radio per owners manual. Using a wire antenna (set up for
10meters), an MFJ tuner.

I am not getting any signals at all. Double checked all connections
and set per manual again.

I could use a few suggestions.

Check out the WWV time signals. The 10MHz signal is pretty powerful


Do you have, or can you borrow, a signal generator that covers the band(s)
you're trying to receive? If so, connect the generator to the antenna connector
on the radio, tune both to an in-band frequency, and see if the receiver works.
Could be that the radio had problems... that's why it was given away.
