you mos definetly got some starter wiring screwed up or the starter has just died.
Is this thing recently swapped in?

Did you attach both grounds-- the one from the valve cover to the radiator support and the one from the tranny to the unibody?

is your ignitor inside the distributor still good? check the wiring to your distributor and make sure its wired up right, haynes manuals work wonders.

yeah, i agree with him...check the ignitor too...it's only gonna get worst, and they're known to go bad.
