I had a similar problem on my 74. I would turn the key and the warning
lights would light, but nothing else would happen. I thought it might be a
bad switch, but the switch was okay. Then 1 day, while playing around under
the hood, I discovered that if I jiggled the white/red wire that goes to the
starter relay, the car would start. Some time later (okay, I'm not too
smart) I finally realized that it was the relay that was bad and not the
wire. The relay had an internal break, which was closed when I jiggled the
wire. I replaced the relay, and haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps
some.
