with you loading it if you hear a yelp come from under the hood then likely she has found (& can identify) the plug wire that is leaking voltage. Might be 2 problems, the starter and the plug wire/boot EDIT Do you have another coil laying around that you could sub in for a quick test? another dist also (phasing if it's phasing is different from the current one/pickup continuity issue)
I don't have a spare coil or distributor, but I can get one of each and try them. I didn't get a chance to get out in the garage tonight. I plan on it tomorrow though. I'll let you know what I'm able to find out.
