Sounds like the neutral safety switch..
Here is the repair manual for your car, copy and paste....http://falconfaq.dyndns.org/display1.php?Path=Falcon_Shop_Manual_60-62&db=Falcon&table=FSM_6062&Page=11-009
Starter solenoid, or neutral safety switch is the problem. I would bet on the solenoid.
My falcon sometimes don't wont to start and I hit the gear shift up with my hand and it starts right up. Maybe the car is not sensing it's in park sometimes I think
