Awesome, thanks Cap'n and all. Yes, when I jumped between solenoid posts the starter spins freely. My troubleshooting activities are on hold this weekend (visiting in-laws), but I will try this when I get back home. I'm going to go ahead and order an ignition switch for $8. I also have a '75 1.8L sitting in my garage now (next project) with a solenoid/starter that I know cranks. Not sure if it's the same starter, but if so I may swap out to test.
