Has there been any effort to determine if the engine itself turns freely? If not, we're arranging deck chairs on the Titanic for the best view of the iceberg! Even a freshly rebuilt starter in 100% condition isn't going to help until the engine is able to turn. Getting less than one turn of the crankshaft even with 12 volts applied doesn't sound too promising. Two pages of good advice isn't going to substitute for a couple of hours of hands-on work!
