I arc the positive terminal to the blue wire on the solenoid and the car starts right up no problem. But it wont turn over from the ignition so im trying to find the bad curcuit

Which part of the circuit would you suggest I check with the ohmmeter? The ping noise is most prominant to the left side of the steering wheel almost as if it could be in the fender or in the fire wall near the fender. Any suggestions where to start first would be excelent!! Thank you all immensely for your feed back

Well I read some of the conversations that people engaged in about another 64 cadillac not cranking over. Well mines a little different, i replaced the starter solenoid and I arced the terminals and the cadi fired right up! But when I turn the ignition to start it I get a ping noise from under the dash as if the battery cables would be loose or something but they are tight. I have no clue what to make if it haha. Anyone have any suggestions ?
