Well, you weren't crazy.
Stinks that your starter didn't last, but at least you can get by until you change it.

Thank you for closing the loop.

Happy to hear you found the problem. "Dead spot" starters are a running sore.
There are probably some reliable brands that friends here can suggest?

Jim - I'll start a new thread specifically about this "mysterious" clutch switch.

Nicknamed «Big Brother 1984», due to its soooo-looong shape & nod to George Orwell's 1984 famous novel.

Mine's an '87 but I'll be glad to take pictures of the harness.

I'm currently running an AutoZone Duralast Reman PMGR. Decent enough quality and if you have a problem covered under the lifetime warranty, AZ's are everywhere. I tried a DB unit, but it didn't fit...
