I went out and did about 5 or 6 spins of the starter, and it finally ended up catching. Let it run for a good while, and turned it off. Crossed my fingers, turned the key, and she started right to life again. Did it a couple of more times and all was good. Took her out for about an hour and a half run, including a stop for gas, and all went well.

I am thinking the new starter might be a good thing to do. Then shoot the old one over to Marc for a rebuild.

I have a local company here in Baltimore that I have had several starters and alternators rebuilt. Typically a one day turn around. They have been very good and not very expensive. Let me know if you need help. Thanks Mark

Just ordered mine. And yes, I'll do the same thing that you did with your old one.

Thanks for the tip!
Followed your suggestion.

The plenum pull isn't a big deal. I would definitely try to get the old starter working and keep the new one as a spare. These rarely have issues that aren't repairable.
