Starting issue

1977 f150 460 4X4 Hey guys, hoping you can shed some light on my problem! Yesterday I was flushing the radiatior, I got my distributor wet, I cranked for like 10 seconds and stopped. I let the starter cool off and cranked for another 10 seconds, after I let off of the key the truck continued cranking so I pulled off the battery connections. than reconnected them, now it wont crank at all, since the starters are cheap, I replaced it, still wouldn't start, I checked over the starter solenoid, it works good, but i'm not getting power at the ignition switch wire on the solenoid. I jumped the solenoid (jumped by sending 12 volts to the ignition wire post ) and it cranked and fired than a second later the starter kicked in again while the truck was running! It made a horrible noise! where should I go now? Do you think I have 2 seperate problems? All fuses are good.
