Check the gears on the bottom of the Ignition switch & key lock cylinder.
When the key is turned it turns a gear which turns a gear on the bottom of the ignition switch which starts the car. It could be that the igntion switch is gone bad or or the lock cylinder is jamed or woreout it could all so be a problem with the gears meshing or the reverse lockout.
I'm not sure about the reverse lock out but I would just unhook it its not needed on a car this old at least were I Live.
It would be best to take the shifter asembly out of the car. undo the battery cable and note where the wires on the ignition switch go. Undo the rod from under the car Be sure and markit with paint or something so it can be put back in the same spot, the rod moves in and out as well as twists when the shifter is moved. By moving the key you should be able to see where the problem is if the gears are ok, the key lock cylinder or Ignition switch key cylinder is binding and both should be replaced. About $80. from Sobstory
Hope that helps
Ron
