Now that the starter is in the car you might want to rig a wire from the spade terminal with a free end to touch to the battery to energize the solenoid. If you get consistently good results cranking you could try adding a Ford solenoid as described on the Townsend site. If there is marginal loss in the signal from the ignition switch, doubling up solenoids can help (granted that it is a workaround to finding the real problem in the circuit). Did that to mine and it and it eliminated my intermittent no starts, though lately at -20F it will wheeze on the first crank then engage on the next try.
