  You can check out the solenoid which is easy enough - but - if that is good, I would look at the ignition switch. These cars are 50 years old and so is the ignition switch. If it starts most times, but then nothing happens, then after turning the key more time - it starts up it could be that 50 year-old switch.

> What has been checked so far:
> - Battery has 12.6V, clean terminal connections & ground, and battery
> volatage is making it to the solenoid
> - Cleaned terminals & connections on starter
> - Solenoid terminals & connections cleaned
> - Solenoid voltage drop between battery & starter posts is in 0.12V-0.15V
