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

[pattypape]

Hi Adria,

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

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.
