Will not turn over with the key in the start position

Thanks Scott!  I will check it out.  I got a new (lifetime warrenty) starter relay today.

To test the relay b4 you put it in, with a couple jumper wires, connect the -ve of the battery to the brown terminal, and the +ve of the battery to the yellow terminal. It should 'click'.

Sorry about the Scott. 

I have been dealing with some family issues, so I didn't get a chance to work on it until yesterday.

The new Relay did the trick, she turns over now. 

Thanks for everyones help.

By the way, keep your eyes peeled on ebay for clutch switches. I found one for $150 about 6 months ago. It was from a 1970, which means it isn't "correct" for my '73, but it was in near-perfect condition.

I wanted to have it in place for times when someone else, that doesn't know there was no clutch safety, needed to start the car. for instance, when I went to get it aligned. I could just picture the tech accidentally driving the thing through the wall..

it's one of those parts you can do without until you come across a good deal.  And then you can feel good about yourself for not having it jerry rigged. Lol.

I made sure the tech was aware of the clutch situation in my car this past summer when I had my car aligned. I was thinking the same thing as you. Car hitting the wall! Reminded me that i need to take care of that switch. No period correct switch for me though. $300+ is just ridiculous.
