Hello Fellas.
John,
I really don't know exactly what happened but when I turned the key it cranked then stopped, and then nothing. Got down underneath to get a closer look and everything looked right. I double checked the wiring everything was tight. Then I took it out and I can smell a burnt odor from the solenoid.

Mike G,
thanks for the info. I actually found out what application the flywheel was (75 Nova, 250) and matched the starter. I had to drill a hole to match the starter pattern (offset). It starts like a dream now. Within time I'll find the straight hole pattern starter or just get my mini checked out. I really liked the mini (looked nice and started fine, till now).
