Check your ground. Put a heavy jumper on frame(not the engine) to the starter body and try. You can have all the 12 volt you need, but without a good path to ground it's useless.
The ground strap to the engine may be broken.
When I spent 3 hours swapping in a known good starter and having same results I regretted not applying Scott tubovan's remote starter switch idea!! That is a good idea to put together before you need it.

My 91 starter not turning. I here the fuel pump come on, there is 12v
at the
main starter lead and less than 4 at the solenoid when turning the
key. When
I disconnect the solenoid lead and turn the key there 12v. So under a
load
is when I think is the problem but what ?? I had the starter tested at
a
shop and worked. Some history, this past fall the short braided cable
between the starter and solenoid was replaced at a shop.
Thanks again for your wisdom!!
