I was sitting here working this problem in my head and thought what if it
was the ignition switch? But I guess I ruled that out by way of the
screwdriver test right? If the starter was good it would have spun.

I'm second guessing myself in what is a very straight forward procedure of
popping a starter in and out. Heck I am very proficient with the starter
bushing R/R (probably the hardest part of this whole thing).

Thanks,
Tony
