Additional history on vechicle- it came into the garage for a tune-up--- It had been setting for 2 years the owner replaced battery and was able to make it in to the shop. After making it in the garage-- Unable to start- replaced Starter and Silinoid- Battery shows complete charge and relay is good as well as All noticeable fuses. I have been unablt to locate an in-line fuse on the starter(itself) Alternator is getting power as well- any troubleshooting Idea?

Ignition switch maybe? Either that or the neutral safety switch if it's automatic. Other than that, check all the connections.

With or without a Chilton's or Haynes shop manual I can offer the following. If we get past this, you may have to buy a book on the car. If I were to tackle this problem I would proceed as follows: 1. Have a friend check all your work. Fresh eyes can sometimes see things we miss. 2. Isolate the various systems. ... The starter turns the engine. That is 1/4 of the problem gone. ... Open the intake by removing the air cleaner. This insures the engine has air. If it starts your air cleaner is plugged. ... Spray some starting fluid into the intake. If it starts, even for a second, it is a fuel problem. Check fuel pressure and volume. Fuel injected cars use fuel pressure for atomization. If no fuel, the pump is either not connected or it died. ... Pull a spark plug wire and try for an arc to ground test. Use an old plug or a screw driver and subdued lighting to check for a spark. You have to have a ground for it to arc to. Failure is an ignition problem. All you have to remember is two things. First the engine needs to turn over, have fuel, air, and correctly timed spark to run. It needs compression as well but I doubt you removed any pistons. Second, although rare, coincidental problems do occur. I accept email at my profile and you are invited to contact me if you get down to a system.

Can you physically turn the crankshaft? If not I would say the engine is seized up. take the starter off the vehicle, still connected to the battery cables and bump the starter to see if it moves. maybe the ignition switch is shot.

you didn't,t say if it will turn over after all the new parts?
the points and rotor in that old distributor is next to get replaced, then a new set of spark plugs. make sure all new connections are clean and tight. it helps if a dielectric lube is use on electrical connections to stop corrosion.

Could there be a bad connection in one or both cables, or could it be a fusible link?
