it'll turn over with a wrench so its not locked up and there's not a ground wire from the battery jus the hot wire but there is one that comes from the block to the battery terminal? and it wont click at all.

ok assuming the wiring is 84, check for battery voltage at the soleniod at the small terminals. one is battery voltage when you turn the key to run and the other is a constant ground. A redneck way of making the starter crank is to touch a screwdriver between the 2 large terminals but this usually creates sparks and around a battery that a bit dangerous, better off using a remote starter if available.

What everyone is trying to say, is to clean all the electrical connections. All it takes is a little corrosion to prevent enough electricity from going to the starter. Disconnect every connection and wire brush it clean before reconnecting it.
