Default MK2 Cortina Starting Problem.

G'day,

I need help, 1969 MK2 Cortina will not start. I know it's not rocket science, which is probably why I'm not a rocket scientist, but here's what I've done so far:

Replaced starter motor and solenoid, replaced all battery leads, additional chassis and battery earth connections installed, replaced auto trans inhibitor switch, checked and tested ignition switch.

I have tried two different batteries, results are the same. I have power where it's supposed to be going, but starter does nothing but click. Engine will not even turn over.

Is it possible the auto trans has jammed or something, not allowing the starter to engage with the flywheel or whatever?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated, I need this car going so I can take my Fairlane off the road for some TLC.

Cheers.
