Ok, I have a 1990 camaro rs with a 305 and a 5spd tranny. I have just replaced the battery, ignition switch, and neutral safety switch. The day I put the new battery in it started right up after sitting for a few months and I was able to leave rubber all over my neighborhood  . The very next day I go to take it out and when I turned the key, nothing happened other than the normal gauge movement and lights on the dash coming on.  I took the starter and solenoid to the parts store and they tested fine. I replaced the ignition switch and then the neutral safety switch which didn't do anything. The starter will crank when using a screwdriver to connect the posts on the solenoid, but it won't fire or start. Any suggestions?? I'm ready to pour gas all over it an light a match to make my own fireworks for the 4th if I can't get this thing fixed...

I would suspect a open circuit somewhere between the starter-to the ignition switch-and back to the starter. Are there any fusible links in the harness? Check those first.
