You still have either a bad starter or a bad solonoid. Hopefully they are not Zone parts as you need good quality parts for your vintage car..

Make sure the little wires on the solonoid are on correctly I and S

Disconnect the small wire with an S and jump across to the + terminal on the solonoid with the key on. If it still does it be ready to tap the solonoid. If that doesn't do it replace the starter.
