Thanks Jon, very helpful.

there is an ignition switch on the lower part of column.  kinda on the driver side between lower dash and floor(closer to dash) bolted to the column.
  a rod running down steering  activates it from the actual key tumbler.

you can check that switch or replace it easy and cheap enough....  there is a little adjustment to it.


then the wire is generally a heavier purple wire that goes through a "neutral safety" switch on the back at the very base of the steering column
almost to the floor. 

from there it usually goes into harness and over through the fuse panel(not fused there- just passes through), out the firewall at the fuse panel, 
into the harness that goes to the engine.    it exits that harness at the front passenger side, drops down the front corner of the engine where it
then runs back along oil lines to the starter and hits the starter there.

you can sometimes rig up a few feet of wire and a light bulb circuit  and wire in the hot side of that light off the small starter post it is hooked
up to,  to get a light into the drivers compartment where you can see it.  that will tell you if the starter is being energized.
