Ignition/starter issues

I am trying to get my 69 started.  The battery charger is on and seems fine. I turn the key to the ignition and nothing.  Everything else comes one.  I am getting spark to the starter but it hasn't rolled over.

Any trick to figure this out? I am going to clean the battery terminals just in case.  When I turn the key, I get nothing to crank the starter.

Any help would be appreciated
Over?! its not over until we say it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!...Hell no! and its not over now!..(Germans? Pearl Harbor?...shut up, he's on a roll)

First try jumping the starter solenoid on the firewall. Be certain the NNS is okay if it's an automatic. Have someone hold the key on crank position while you wiggle jiggle push pull wires/connections for starter.

The console switch... I forgot about that. It is an auto..  have to figure out where the solenoid is at.  Thanks

Thanks for the help. It was the console switch.  I jiggled the shifter and rolled over immediately. I forgot about that damn thing

In '69, the NSS is on the transmission not the console. If jiggling the shifter affects the starter, look for mis-adjusted shift linkage or worn/missing plastic bushings in the linkage.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.
