I think that we need a clearer explanation of what the problem is? Describe exactly what you are doing and exactly what the car is or is not doing? What sounds do you hear? Does the engine even crank? If the engine doesn't crank-over, focus your attention on that first. If those 24 year old battery cables are badly corroded, I'd replace them first before doing anything else. Corroded battery cables would allow the 5 or so amps of power to go to the lights, but not the 60 or so amps to go to the starter. Let us know what you find so that we all can learn something from your experience.
