starter relay

71 duster slant 3 in floor .hasn't run in 15 yrs or so. fresh battery, replaced the starter r elay (NEW) with one WITHOUT the terminal for clutch safety switch. I have current to pos. post at relay, current in and of of firewall, did the MAD upgrade. engine turns over with screw driver at starter.
I have NO current at ign terminal post at the relay,( the yellow wire at relay.) this ign terminal should always be hot? unless the relay is not grounded well or BAD new relay???
or am I missing a lot??
