Update: Waited a couple hours for a starter in Hope. Got it, installed it, Hardly would crank. Checked and redid all the grounds, and cables. Still would not crank enough to start. Pulled the starter, swapped it back with my old one, got my money back, called an O'Reilley Auto Parts near Bellevue, WA, Ordered a starter ( 1972 MG Midget) is what everybody stocks, push started it, drove 3 hrs to O'Reilley's . Had a bit of a problem at the border. Border guy said "turn off the car". I said I can't re-start it if I do. He let us go thru. Got the starter and drove to Eleven's (Tracy Skinner) garage in Bellevue. Installd starter and OD solenoid. Kept the old solenoid plunger in place . All works .
Now we're in Tullamook, OR, heading down the coast. Spent a night in KOA near Astoria.
Thanks to Tracy and Ginger in Bellevue and all the others with thoughts and encouragemnt.
