That sounds like the ignition switch. You could also have a bad starter relay.

I found the problem, a guy at a parts store said it could be a fuseable link between the starter and ignition, I couldnt find this link, so I spliced some wires at the firewall and now the car runs. A friend of mine did the same thing with his '81 Chevy truck

that fusible link should be that smaller red wire on the b+ of the starter because i had that same problem with my 77 camaro. just give it a tug and see if it stretches
