Starter Problem..
Ok... When I try to start the motor... it starts and everything but it won't stop cranking... Even when I take the key out.. I have it hooked up right... (ign. to the inside.. "s" terminal, pos. to the big terminal... I benched it and it worked fine... But it doesn't in the car.. Any ideas?

A little low battery, bad solenoid, too close to flywheel, or bad bendix in starter are the main causes. Those are what I would check first.

...and check the ignition switch, sometimes the contacts fuse together.

battery was low...
But it's a new solenoid, and bendix, and I shimmed it so it moves in and out freely...
I checked the wiring with a multimeter and it all checked out fine?... 12.3V at "start" .050V at 'IGN.'
Ima shim it down again and hot wire it tomorrow see if that does anything.The Gutless Cutlass, is no more.
