Car won't start suspect it's in ignition

This sounds like the proverbial IGN1 / IGN2 or ballast resistor problem

I'd do one or two things............

Leave the key in run long enough to confirm the ignition is getting power. See if you have spark by jumpering the start relay, which will "work around" an IGN2 problem

Make sure you DO have voltage while cranking. Might be a bad ignition switch, the switch connector, or bulkhead terminal where the brown IGN2 wire comes through

I'm assuming it DID run with this same setup?
