After trying to track down the electrical problems I finally found that I had grounding issues.
The bolts holding my transmission cover to the frame did not have a good connection. I guess my paint job was too good.
I removed these bolts and used a file to remove all the rust and the paint under the bolt head. I also made sure the cover was free from paint and that the under side of the frame, where the nut mates, was free of paint .
I used a volt meter to track the connections all the way back to the engine and the starter. Now it will turn over like a dream.
The repaired solenoid works great too!
I did find one problem. The spark plug seems to be bad. What do you think? Looks like I will be picking up a new spark plug tomorrow.
