After you check all the points everyone else have given you, try this.
Take
a set of jumper cables from the battery to the starter and the engine
block.
Try again. If nothing, find the fusible links for the car. I believe on
'69, they moved them down to the starter solenoid. In '68, they were on
the
voltage regulator on the driver side inner fender but '69 has an
internally
regulated alternator.
Use a test light or volt meter to check across the link for voltage. The
connection look like a small Tootsie Roll in the wire. The fusible link
is
actually the wire from the Tootsie Roll to the connector, usually like 4
or
6 inches long. It is simply a smaller gauge wire, for example, if the
main
wire is #12, the link may be #16.
