OK, I went with the new solenoid option, piece of cake to change; now if I can just get the !@# starter back on. Spent an hour or so today attempting to line up the bolts without any luck.

...seems I am about a half bolt hole out of alignment, (with the front bracket loosley attached). Started on the outside and moved to the inside since the line of sight is better.

The engine block will have two bolt patterns for the starter, but the outside bolt hole is the same. For sure, start the outside bolt first, then the inner bolt. The starters can have a couple of different bolt patterns...either straight across, or diagonal, but still, the outer bolt will be in the same position.
Those things get heavy after about 30 seconds, don't they?

Got the starter back on... I went mechanical on the thing, used a floor jack. Thanks to all for the help; the car is starting as it should.
