yes,
when I was a kid I had a 64 VW, not uncommon to slide under there with a screwdriver and lay it across the 2 terminals to start it. lots of sparks.

I made up a push button switch with alligator clips that I could clip on a starter for easier testing.

if it works all it usually proves is that the starter works and the problem is hi resistance in the wiring or ign switch.
