Doc and Doug, thanks for the advice, that's definitely something I can tackle on my own and see what happens, I'll go through the grounds and cables to the starter/solenoid.
As for more "info" I was just told the wiring to my column is a mess and there's some hot wires that need to be repaired, but they couldn't properly trace the prob.
I was told the car has everything running to the alt (not directly to the battery) so you don't get anything when you turn the key, not even a click. When it is running, power doesn't work until you rev it over 2,500 rpm and the alt "kicks in". The last guy re-routed the headlights on it's own line w/fuse, but that didn't fix the problem.
