Hey guys, so after the "cold months restoration" I finally got everything back together and buttoned up last week only to find that I needed a new battery. The new (TruGel) battery came in today, and after hooking it up it is apparently going to be yet another test of my patience...

Lights come on with the key with no problems, FINE-C in order, and when I hit the start button I can hear (what I can only presume to be ) the starter "wind up" quickly and squeal (sounds like an air wrench, but higher pitched) but not fire.

I had previously taken the starter off and the local shop bench-tested it to be ok (while not under a load). I am operating that under the assumption that if the sound I hear IS the starter, if is not the issue. (thought being that if it were the problem it wouldn't make any sort of noise when I hit the button).

Any suggestions, advise, or reasonable offers (LOL) gladly accepted, and thanks in advance for the help!
