74 dart has electrical power but no start

I am trying to get my 74 dart running. I brought it from MS to NC this weekend. It hasn't ran in over a year. I am trying to get it to start. I put a new battery in it and I have electrical power everywhere. When I turn the key to start NOTHING. Trying to narrow it down to a few things. Here is what I am thinking:
1. Ignition ballast(ceramic looking rectangle in the back right corner)
2. Replace the battery cable to the starter (it is rough looking)

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
