I’ve changed the solenoid and still no power. Tried jumping the solenoid off and nothing happens. I get a click when I jump the small post to the right side of solenoid. I’ve tried jumping the starter at the solenoid and get nothing but I have 12v going at the solenoid. Just need to get it to crank so I can move it. Thanks in advance

I dont know this vehicles wiring specifically but your no power at the ignition switch points to some basic electrical sources. Older vehicles dont have a lot of high tech ( modules ) so could be simple repair here. Lets start with battery terminals cleaning ... both of them. You say the starter solenoid has 12 volts but doesn't do anything when the terminals are manually crossed. Its just as important to have a good ground. Trace visually the negative battery cable to a eyelet on the other end for a good clean ground (most times to engine block). a bad/corroded ground can disable everything.

I’ll give that a try and let you know what I find.
