Classic/Antique Car Repair: 69 Impala, wd 40, dash lights

Question
I recently asked you a question regarding my Impala. I have another one for you. I am trying to get it started. Its been sitting around for 15 years in a garage. Everything works on the car lighter all the way back to the back up lights, which impressed me. I drained the old gas out and chnged the oil. Changed all filters, etc. I go to crank the motor via the key in ignition, the dash lights come on in run position, and HOT light comes on in crank position, but motor won't crank. I can manually get motor to crank by jumping solenoid on starter. I checked to see if evrything is working under my dash. When I put a multimeter on switches I get power to shoot over wire in crank position. Electrical is not one of my strong points, any info would be appreciated. Thanx.

HI  have you tried to jump it with a second car, the battery could be low or bad. also try to put a 1 oz. of gas down into the carb. and spray some starting fluid into the carb also. and see what happens. it should tyrn over with that in it.  , if it still goes click with the two batteries than you might have a bad starter motor or selonoid. I would pullc the plugs one at a time and squirt some wd-40 into each plug hole and let it sit over night than try it with starting fluid  in 24 hours later  ok.
