Okay, here is a status update and by the way thanks so much for everyones help.

I checked the ground. .01 Ohm across the board. (Cleaned and tightened connections anyway.)

Ran the voltmeter from the wiring block (purple starting wire) and got ~9.3 volts when the key ignition is turned on. Got the same at the selonoid....
Realized that earlier I mentioned that I had replaced the starter.. Not true I had replaced the selonoid. Unless I need more volts at the selonoid to trip the switch, sounds like the selonoid or starter is my problem. (No clicking when I turn the key..)

Can someone confirm?

Thanks in advance!

Brian
