Does starter click? Try turning on headlamps and get someone to watch as you try to start car. If headlamps dim, likely bad starter or battery cable(s). If they don't dim, bad solenoid, starter switch, neutral safety switch. Try starting in neutral and jiggle shifter while trying. If it starts, replace neutral safety switch.
You have the solenoid exciter wire touch the bat terminal on the starter. You need to loosen the cable stud and turn and make sure it is not hitting the smaller terminal. the small wire should be going to the S post or terminal
First make sure the battery in in good confition and fully charged. Turn on the headlights and have someone attempt to start the car whilst you observe the headlights. If they go dim, the starter could be poling and drawing too much current. If you can, feel the starter motor, it should not be hot unless you have tried many times to start. If quite hot, headlights are dim and engine wont crank over, recheck the battery and if ok, overhaul the starter motor.
