Ignition help needed. 1973 Duster

I'm fixing up a 1973 duster with a 1974 318 under the hood. Won't turn over unless the starter is shorted, won't start at that point. I suspect the ignition coil has gone bad but that shouldn't stop it from turning over...
It has a new starter, battery, and starter relay. all with good clean connections. Just confused at this point
Ignition fuse?...
