1980 35FC won't start via the ignition, please help
Hi Adria,

I am late reading posts and have not read other responses.

But re-check the starter ground, or a simple test is to add one
battery jumper cable direct to the starter ground and attach the
other end to a clean chassis ground. It could also be connected
directly to the negative start battery post.
