Subject:Re: Where's the other end of my broken ground strap?

See if the wire has fallen off the 50 terminal on the starter solenoid.
I've had that happen in my present van and a '71 Fiat 128.  If not, try
jumping that 50 terminal to alternator B+.  If it cranks then your next
suspect is ignition switch 50 terminal or the neutral/park interlock switch
if it's an automatic.

Yrs,
