Quest to getting my Slant six to turn over

Alright guys, i spun the engine by hand, i got a fresh new walmart battery, i put it on and in my haste i accidentally sparked the starter solenoid. This was it, the cubs won the world series, my Duster was going to crank now! I opened the door and the dome lamp had a warm glow waiting for me, it had lights without taking power from a jump. I was ready. It was like 32 degrees so i knew it wasn't going to fire with a missing choke but just to have it crank would have been enough.

I put the key in, made sure it was in park, turned and..clunk went the solenoid again and nothing else.
At this point should i be considering a damaged starter/starter solenoid? Mine is still with the separate solenoid bolted to the frame. It doesn't have a ground wire coming out of it but i thought it would ground through the bolts.
I'd chase fuses around if i knew where to look but i want to get the big things out of the way first.
Does anyone have any tips for me? The fact that the lights are working is a victory to me but it would really satisfying to wake up the district judge at 2 in the morning with a straight piped /6. He hates us and we hate him.
