sure, this is a no crank event,
the 4speed, has a PRNDL switch on the side the will fail in park after many years its warn, so crank in NEUTRAL.
also try wiggling the shifter as you turn the key switch to Crank position.
it can only be 3 things, if hot wiring the starter solenoid, cranks car,ok, during the failure.
key switch.
wires (connections)
the PRNDL bad.
its not a weak battery , as they usually dont go good/bad/good just you sitting in drivers seat.
but the battery posts can do that too. but that would fail the hot wire test and might fail a jump start too.
the acid test is a voltmeter on the key line at the starter solenoid, if not 10-12v cranking the Key line is dead.

one other trick ive done on the very very intermittent cars.
is to run a spare wire (fused at 15a) front key ST small lug of starter trough the fire wall, and have it near my Cig lighter. if car dont start i connect my bare wire to the CIG port center hot pin.
if it cranks now, the starter (all else related) is good and the ST line is dead, the Key line. is inop.
in fact you can use old CELL phone charger parts to make up a test to do that or , use this push button.

if gently wiggling the shifter, fixes this, you are sure what is wrong.
