Having a starting problem

[dtkarst]

Been tinkering on my 63 c10 the past few days while waiting on stuff for the 61 4x4. I'm having issues with it not wanting to start with the key. It will run and drive but in order for it to run I have to turn the key over to acc then take a screwdriver or pry bar and touch the two points on the starter then I fired right up. Also while it is running, I can turn the key like I would to start it and it'll grind the starter. It's got a new ignition, now I'm just at a loss for the reasoning as to why I can't start it with the key. Help a guy out
