Default 71 fastback starting problem.

So the question is:
My 71 fastback starts only when i connect the electric cables to the battery.Its pretty much manuel so for me to turn off the car i have to get under the hood and disconnect the cables from the battery.
I changed the solenoid recently perhaps, i could of connected the I AND the S cables wrong but i doubt it.

Or my other theory would be that my actual ignition key system is having problems.

anyways I would appreciate your help.

Did it ever work right after you changed the solenoid or did the problem occur out of the blue?
