Terry,
Sounds like the neutral safety switch. Try holding the shift lever up when turning the key. Does it start then? If so, the switch needs adjusting and/or the lower steering column bushing is shot or missing.
Also, check the battery to frame ground connection. It sounds like it's okay but the car needs a GOOD ground to turn over the starter.
As a last resort, you can jump across the neutral safety switch to see if that's the problem. CAUTION: If you do this, the car will start in any gear and you could crash into something or someone.
Good luck finding the problem.
