Hi, the other day, started my '76 GM Pick-Up with a ZZ4 350, and checked the oil and thought, better head out for an oil change, I noticed a sound, sounded like dry metal on dry metal, not very noticeable, drove about a block something sounded like a Click under the hood and engine stopped running, I put it in neutral and costed to a stop. Smoke was coming up from the passengers side of motor, headers were not even hot yet, but starter was hot enough to cook some bacon on extra crispy.

Today, got underneath vehicle and noticed starter was still engaged with fly wheel, and think that over-revving caused heat and starter to cook.

I removed the starter, I did a continuity test on the 'S' wire and everything is good there, but I tried to trigger the starter with 12volts but starter is cooked.

How do I know for sure if the motor is cooked or solenoid? What is the resistance supposed to be?
What would cause the solenoid to stick or keep the stater engaged with fly wheel?

One more question, with the stater removed, when I put the key in the ignition, and turn it on, nothing works, not even the head lights come one, does this relate to starter not being installed and all wires hooked up?

Thanks, sorry about long post.
