Again, with a starter box attached, same symptoms. So it’s not the voltage to the starter.

Just to put that to rest, I attached a different battery, same symptom. No motion from the starter. I understand that these cars are very sensative to battery voltage, I’ve gone through a regulator and changed batteries on it before. This isn’t a battery problem.

So, does anyone have anything other than the battery?

I’m thinking it’s the starter (which reads to be a common fault), but before I go through the rather involved process of changing it, I’m just trying to make sure I’m not missing something else like the blow out safety terminal connection (which I’ve already checked at this point, they seem good).
Well, if you are getting voltage AT the starter- like 12+ volt when using another battery- and the starter isnt moving, that would be an indicator.

We have seen a few dead starters...not entirely out of reason
