I had the same problem about 5 years ago!

After 40 or so years, it’s usually corrosion on terminals or untined original 
wiring!
Check and clean the ground connection (usually on one of the transmission 
casing bolts on the back of the gearbox).
After all these years, it may be prudent to change out the 
battery/starter/ground main cables. You can buy pre-made cables with ends at 
Canadian Tire (not sure about US, but somewhere like Pep-Boys?)
These won’t be tinned either, but the first set lasted 40 years 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hi everyone,

I usually have to turn the key a few times for the starter to actually rotate. 
I can hear the solenoid clicking even when the starter does not turn.

Would this indicate it is just a wire or connector issue? Or a starter issue? 
Or if further investigation needed, what should be looked at?

Just want to see if I can get advice from the much more experienced community.

thank you,

Bo
