It could be from low voltage. What is the voltage of the battery?

What is the voltage when you try to start?

You could have a bad battery but need to confirm. Can you get a voltmeter?

The battery started up the old motor. So the battery is good. I do not have a voltimeter. Would it work better if I jumped started the car?

Do not assume it is good. That was then and this is now.

If the battery is shorted, it will not take a jump. If it is low, it may take a jump.

Yes, make sure you have the battery cable wire to the big stud on the solenoid.

There should be 2 other wires on that stud as well.

Then the small wire to the S terminal.

There are 5 wires. Two wires are bolted to the engine block, the a/c ground and the negative wire. The red positive wire and the yellow battery sensor lead are on the big stud of the starter. The purple wire is on the small right stud of the starter.

Okay, what about the power wires to the interior?

There should be more wires on the battery stud.
