    More than once I have seen bad grounds where the battery neg is grounded to the chassis on those.

    why thank you, glad to be here, Im goign to check at the column as soon as i get a chance, the car is outside and the weathers getting crappy so ill see what i can do! I remember probing the purple wire unhooked from the starter and it was on zero and went to 7.3 with the key forward. I dont thing the ground is bad from the battery because i have full power at the starter, lights and interior lights/windows work so i know the accesorries work. New battery cables are on my TO DO list but i dont think its the main culprit of not starting. Thanks for the welcome and the help!

    OK starter works when S terminal is jumped. I still have to find that switch... its pretty tight squeeze getting under that dashboard. Like i said this is a project car right now, still plan on changing motor/trans/breaklines... then restoring the little things.
