Won’t Start.

A few months ago I had to boost my 82 firebird to start which is fine as it sat for abit. Now with the weather being nice, it’s time to start driving it again, after being parked the car doesn’t want to start. Battery is tested and fully charged. I can jump the starter to get it running. But if I try to start it from the ignition I get nothing. But everything else works, it just doesn’t even try to crank the engine.

Id start by tracing power. Neutral safety switch (Automatic at the shifter, manual at the clutch pedal) and starter switch under the column(Not the key switch). No power to them? Then I'd be looking at fuseable links and fuses.
