Default Lost Ground in Starter Circuit wiring in 71 Chevelle LS1 conversion

I have been posting for awhile about how my car wont' start.. Well I removed teh VATS system from the PCM thinknig that would work and the car still won't start. I turn my key and the fuel pump and Accerssories turn on.. WHen I turn the key nothing works at all.... I used my test light and stuck it in the green power wire going to the starter relay and grounded it and the starter turned over... So basically when I ground out the system I complete the circuit..

My question is where are the grounds for the starter circuit because now I am completely lost...

Also could I just hook up a push button start directly to the starter solenoid???

Your pink wires to the pcm need power in the run and crank position. Sounds like when you turn the key to the crank position the power is not there. The pcm grounds the starter relay if the park/neutral switch allows it.
