It is drawing the battery voltage down, which means current is flowing. If you are sure your battery isn't drained then I would blame the starter next.

Another quick update. Since I took off the gack and could actually see a bit of the starter I gave it a few solid taps. Then the starter cranked! I’m a little confused, but maybe the tapping jiggled a bad connection?

Could have jiggled electrical contact parts inside that are well worn. My experience says the problem will return. (probably when you are out of town and someone less automotive is driving it BTDT)

It can happen that the connection comes loose so I would check all connections and grounds before condemning starter. When you say you got a test light on the main post was that on the starter or battery ?

Update. Got in there replace the starter. As soon as I hook up the B+ The starter motor starts spinning. The key is not in the ignition. I hooked up the wires nice and snug. Is this an indicator that I am touching a wire somewhere. The harness has the little wire up top and a medium wire underneath, and two red wires to the post

Update 2: pulled off the main 2 red wires off the main post. Figured I was probably touching the top R post. Put a backing nut on main post to give a little clearance. One issue solved. Able to safely hook up battery and B+.
***BUT, now turn the key and the solenoid does not engage. Just starter spinning. CRIKEY.

 So there are two leads for control wires. Perhaps backwards? If you hooked up power lead to ground I would expect you blew a fuse.
