Default Help.. Car fails to start

I have an 87 monte ss. Has a 350. Came to start it and it was turning over then nothing. thought i fried the starter so i replaced it. Still wouldnt turn over or even make a noise. Lights and all accessories turn on. Replaced the ignition switch next but still nothing.
Any suggestions?
Thinking its maybe the neutral safety switch but unsure.
anything helps

ok i will do two things clean the terminals on the battery affter that try to start it regularly and in nutral. still nothing i will go after the battery first to see if it is still has the cca in the battery as well if it has a good charge. a battery is a tempermental part on any car. go there first then move to the wires leading to the starter silinoid and that part and follow the rest. but a battery could be the culpret but it is hard to say
