One more thought on this.  There is a loud buzzing noise from the firewall, I assume this is the ignition on/not running buzzer, but I thought I should check just in case.

Good Morning,We recently picked up a very nice 76 Glenbrook with 76,000 miles.  The TZE is is very nice shape, refurbished in 2009 and always stored indoors. Last week the starter quit, it would only make a loud click, but not rotate to the point it started to smoke.  I had it rebuilt, checked battery and cables but still burned out the rebuilt starter on the first start.  The rebuilt starter worked perfectly for the first start, but there was a loud squealing sound coming from the engine/drivetrain area.  I shut the motor off, had a quick look and was not able to start again.  Same loud click, but I did not push the rebuilt one to the point of getting the unit hot.  There is a possibility the start power is staying on and keeping the solenoid engaged.  I have not confirmed this, but it is likely the problem, possibly the ignition switched or the relay/solenoid on the firewall or ???I welcome and appreciate any feedback.Thank you,
