So now that we know the starter works it might be a grounding issue. I have the battery lead grounding to the block, but my dad and I are thinking we should attach it to the starter bolt. If this doesn't work, I'm going to take the starter back and have them replace it and hope for the best!

Sounds like you don't have a ground strap between your engine and chassis. Without it, you will have all kinds of electrical gremlins...just like the ones you're experiencing.

Oh I see. Ok well if changing the ground doesn't solve my issue then I will take a battery out of a working car and try it Then if it still doesn't work....hmmm
Thanks for all your input.

X2 on the ground strap to the chassis. On my '85, the bolt came loose on the body and chasing that down was an absolute nightmare. As for the starter, stay away from that remanufactured Kragen junk. BTDT. It truly is a game of chance when you go that route. I'd spend the extra money on a new, quality starter. Also, just to rule out your battery, you could make sure the terminals are real clean and make good contact. Also, instead of the 100-amp start, try jumper cables from another vehicle.
