"The solenoid clicks but the starter won't crank. My mechanic says he can drop it into fifth gear, push the car to change the position of the motor/flywheel and it will crank...I don't know what that means, I assume he does".

I'm no expert on the subject, but it sounds to me like the starter is bad if the engine will start after moving the car a bit while in gear.

"I am being told there is no spark, and they think it is the coil. They are dropping a stock distributor in to test that theory. If that solves the problem I will get a new distributor and be done".

If it is a bad coil, why are they changing the distributor, I don't get it?
