Default engine won't start in 82, where to find antitheft realy to defeat?

i took out the gauge cluster/radio to make the radio work, when i put it back together, the engine won't start, i tried the key on the door to turn off the factory alarm...

my aftermarket alarm guys says when the key in on ignition there is juice to the starter, but there is no cranking,

I can't figure this out

Default

could also be the neutral safety switch. try it in neutral if its an auto.
there is a starter interrupt relay, you may have to jumper the purple and the purple/white wires to bypass the relay.
