Default 79 vette with starting prob

Hey all,
I pulled my vette out of storage...threw in the battery cranked her up let it run for 10 or so shut it down to get lunch. I came back out turned key...nothing not even a crank. Now the dinger for the key sounds off but nothing almost like when you don't push the clutch in ( i pushed it in by the way) I don't even get headlights... i put the battery on a jumper pack still nothing... could it be that my ignition took a dump or maybe the netural saftey swicth did....by the way does anyone know where to find that switch...now I did have the starter acting up last year like it was on it's last leg when it got hot under the hood.

thanks

check for loose battery cables? or at the starter, perhaps your fuse links?
