Figured it out!

There was a kill switch installed recently and there was a 20amp fuse
wired under the steering wheel. Found it by luck and it was blown,
replaced that, put in the new starter and everything works out now.

The electrical test I mentioned earlier was supposedly done with a 'fuse
tester', they hook up the fuse to to the tester and if it lights up, the
fuse is good.

A while back I saw one mechanic test a starter using a quarter, he
touched some part of it and it turned over... so I'm wondering what part
he did it on... the solenoid or the hot wire post?

Thanks again for the info.
