Failed ign switch in 67?



Test your neutral safety switch. I know that if it fails, the car won't crank. 
I don't remember if the rest of the stuff will come on or not, but it is worth 
a try. They fail much more frequently than the ignition switch and it might be 
easier to change.

Did you turn the car off in gear the last time you started it?
