ANOTHER Turn the key and key and get nothing post!

I would just fill the torn boot with silicone ?

Yeah that's probably what I will do, I think a small piece of rubber hose over the tranny lines where it rubs,to help keep any bare metal contact from happening can`t hurt either. Thanks!

Yep I had a screwdriver didn`t turn over just sparked.
Thanks Strawdawg Is this how I jump it? I made a couple notes in the pic.
 I used to know how to do this on a 67 Cougar back in the day but I forgot how to do it, the NSS was bad on that car too. I think I also had to run a wire from the solenoid to the + side of the coil to keep it running does that sound right? I wont do all that now I`ll just replace the bad part when I figure out what is bad.

That would be correct.  But, it seems you have established the problem is at the starter so it is not needed now

Hit the starter with a hammer a couple of times and see if it cranks Sometimes this works but is not a fix.  I think Chryco is right about what is probably wrong

Oh don`t you worry, I hit it with a hammer a few times! Should it have still been in the car when I did that?
