Hey, i am new to this page forum. I have a 74 dodge charger SE I have been working on. The wiring burnt up in my car about 3yrs ago and I've been working on it since. I have spark/crank when I jump of starter relay, but when I turn the key i have no start. I have changed all relay/switches, am i missing something with the key. Previous owner had ignition wiring jumped over to a toggle switch due to key ignition was broke. I've replaced that as well, and I've been trying figure it out but I'm at a loss. All recommendations, knowledge would help. Thank you!

To clarify on this, I have lights, ect. accessories and I haven't fully taken the steering column apart besides cylinder lock key and ignition switch. Will the spring bar that shifts off the ignition switch cause issues, or if it gets stuck would prevent ignition switch too fully turn?
 
I have power coming through to the ignition switch, and the seat belts were all removed prior of me having the car. I haven't found anything matching the pics of seat belt interlock in the car.
 
Possibility, it is new and part of new wiring harness. New switch, wiring for the switch is not matching my diagrams nor original diagram. Maybe I have the mixed up, I will try that and see if i have those wires mixed up.
 
Looks like an aftermarket harness. If so you need to figure out who made the harness and download the installation instructions.
