Looks like the ign switch needs to be replaced so you can loose the jumper.
If you are referring to the starter solenoid you must have been cranking the starter too long. 30sec rest then again. You can burn up the starter motor cranking the motor too long at one time. Did it try to start? When you are at the top of the compression stroke for the #1 cyl is the rotor pointing to the number one spark plug post?
Remember you need fuel, spark and for the spark to happen at the correct time.
Let us know of your progress.

Sounds like the battery is discharged. Since there are issues with the ign switch disconnect the battery ground and put it on a charger til you replace the ign switch. I don't know what the "humming" from the dist. would be. You didn't leave the jumper hooked up did you? See what happens tomorrow when you replace the switch and have a fully charged battery.

We had jumper cables hooked up to the truck. and was getting 13.63 to the battery side of the seliniod and about 5 to the starter side.

Well that's not right.... Try cleaning the battery posts and charging the battery instead of jumping. You have to wait til tomorrow for the new ign switch so wait till you have it all in place and see.
