I had it running a few times after re-installing the motor but now it will not turn-over.

1973 2.0 Dual Carb

Here are the current symptoms:

Headlights on, alternator light on, key turned to start: Headlights turn-off until I release the key, all other electronics stay on, starter does nothing.

Here is what I have confirmed / tested / cleaned:

The starter is new and has only been turned on about 4 times, but I bridged the posts to confirm it was still working and took it to get tested at my FLAPS to backup my findings. Both methods tested OK.

When the key is turned to START, the yellow wire to the starter gets 12.5 volts (or whatever the battery voltage happens to be.) Voltage is at 1.5 when the key is in ON position.

Removed and Cleaned with a wire brush: Battery posts, battery cables, transaxle cable and posts, my left thumb and index finger, gang of ground wires and post above relay board, pins / blades on relay board.

The ignition switch is new. I have had it for years but only installed it sometime in August and the car has only been started about 10 times since... probably less. I have another ignition switch that I purchased to replace the backup I used but I am not convinced yet that it's the switch. I am however going to investigate that possibility next.

The voltage regulator is new too.
Any thoughts?
