Art, you are correct in both cases:
We are replacing the starter.
I left out a bunch of info on the other topic. They called while I was typing and gave me new info that I didn't put in the post. They did some testing and decided it was the distributor, not the coil...so they are dropping in a stock distributor to see if it fixes the problem. If it solves the problem, I will replace it with the distributor of my choice.
