Car wont start need help!!

my '85 305 T/A wont start anymore. it started fine i drove home then went back out to start my car and nothing happened. first i thought my battery was dead but it was fine so i figured it was the starter or solinoid so i got a new starter and installed it but it still wont start. i then thought it might be the neutral safety swith but i tried giggling the shifter and turning the key and it started then i drove it and when i went 2 start it again it did nothing i had to take apart the consle and i jumpered the purple and yellow wire in the neutral module and nothing happened and i tried moving the module and taking it apart and still nothing so could it be the ignition key switch or am i missing something. the battery is charged but nothing will turn on ecept when i open the door with the key out the interior lights come on but when i turn the key nothing works and i dont have vats so i guessing the ignition switch but how do i test it in the steering column?

One other HIGH failure item to check...fuseable links, in the harness down at the starter.
