get a 5.00 test light tomorrow.
Test for power at your solenoid, as well as use a screw driver to try to jump it from by touching the starter terminal that connects to your battery and to your starter solenoid.
If it tries to bump over or fire, you could have an issue with the purple starter wire, the fusible link or some where on your column.

where is the neutral safety switch located?
Be careful if you try to bump the starter from under the truck as if the key is on and it tries to start it will run you over if the shifter is not in park! If I can help give me a call six 6 one 7 1 seven 5 four four four

Thks man. I just had a local shop replace the starter and she's ready to go. I will go over all connections once I get home to Atlanta.

Apparently it was, however it didnt explain why the truck died while idling in Park. I made it back to GA, but the truck died on me twice in route. The connections at the distributor are broken and are being held in place by electrical tape. I discovered this when I removed the air cleaner after she died on the interstate.
Any idea on where I can pick up some new connectors?
Can't help with your last question, just thought I'd stop in and say it's good to hear you made it home.

go to a junk yard and just snip off the plug off another gm vehicle of a similar year/make.
then using a butt connector and heat shrink tubing wire it in.
