wiring problems

[horsebrokeright]

My wife bought this 76 bronco from someone without starting it. No its not like that, it needed a starter, battery, belts and a few other things, but the body & drivetrain are great. I can jump from battery post of solenoid to starter post of solenoid & it will start with key on or off, the only way to cut it off is pull the coil wire. I have put a new ignition switch in ,checked the fuseable links, just cant seem to get it to start with the key. Also i have no light either, no gauges or nothing. What am i missing.

What wires are connected to the coil and starter solenoid?

It sounds like you have the power feed wire (Bk/R) on the START side of the relay. I'd pull them all off, and begin fresh:
1) Put the small R/LB wire on the small S terminal
2) Put the small Br wire on the small I terminal
3) Put the large Bk starter cable on either large stud
4) Put EVERYTHING else on the other large stud
