To Clarify what I meant by ignition hot- is hot when the key is turned to the only start position. When the key is turned to start it should apply 12 volts to the solenoid wire - looks to be purple/white wire on my schematic from the ignition switch to the neutral safety switch (which the 79 does not have) - from there it is purple on the schematic into the bulkhead connector. From the bulkhead connector to the terminal on the starter solenoid it is purple. This purple wire might be difficult to locate out of the steering column.
