1973 Other Chevrolet Models V8 Two Wheel Drive Manual

I turn the key to the crank position and there is no action. I've ran extra grounds from the battery, i have power going to the S terminal of the starter with the key in the crank position but still no crank.

Have a helper turn the key to crank, see if there is good voltage at the starter field terminal. Can you tell if the starter is putting a load on the system? Turn on the lites, watch the lites with the key in the crank position. Do the lites react, dim, stay bright?
