Default B series starter just clicks loudly and rapidly

I had miswired the starter plug and crossed it accidently with the distrubuter wire. This made the starter try and fire the car from acc on the key.
I rewired the plug correctly and now the starter tries to fire at the right time but all that happens is a loud rapid series of clicks.
Oddly enough when this is happening the speedo also moves and the dash lights come on and off (looks like the car is being turned on and off.) Other stuff like headlights and powerfc hand controller are working fine.

I swapped out the battery from another car (did start the other car) but the apexi turbo timer reads it as 11.9v with the car on acc. I try and start the car and with the starter clicking away the volts only drop down to 10.2v

Bit to read there, just trying to explain it.

Thanks for any help

Just shorted the sarter power wire with the starter signal and not much happened. A few big sparks, fuel pump went and rail got pressure but very little flywheel movement if any.

Fried starter?
