check grounds and check connections to the solenoid! ANY loose or corroded ones will affect everything.

This caught my attention, as I am a C-body guy. Did you try jiggling your starter wire, could possibly be that. That is what happen to one of my stepfathers cars, we went to start it and we thought the starter checked out, it was the wire. We jiggled it and it started.
