Check the small wire at the starter, see if it gets voltage when the key is turned to "START". If not, I'd look hard at the ignition/starter switch and the connector on the back (although typically, you'd be losing the instrument cluster and it would be spinning over and cranking, but not catching and starting.)
If yes, well - starter replacement time.
BIG hint - if you need to replace it, rather than buying a "Made by children in the cheapest place on Earth we can find" reman'ed unit at a Big Box store, find an old line starter/generator/alternator shop (ideally, the sign on the building was painted last in the 1950's - 1960's or so!) and get your current one rebuilt.
Or swap for an already-rebuilt one from the local guy, if this is your Daily Driver and you need it to get back and forth (then again, if it's your DD, you're already renting / borrowing / using the fun car / hitching rides / whatever to get back and forth ... )
And take a few pics as you take it apart - it's a bad feeling when you're looking at the new-to-you starter, and can't remember which connector which cable goes on!
