Yes, clean and tight connections. However, I suspect the click is
the starter relay and the lack of cranking is the starter SOLENOID
being stuck.
The first thing I would do is deliver a nice firm rap or two to the
starter with a medium size hammer, a breaker bar, or similar. Then
try to start it.
Of course, and as always, I might be wrong.

Don't forget to check to see of the cable are tight
& clean at the starter end as well/

Just tried firing up my 63 Polara for the first time
in a few months. It's not turning over at all. It
makes a 'click' but no starter action. The oil light
and guages all do what they should. Across the
terminals the battery reads 12.25 volts. I guess that's
a little low, but when I connect a jump box to it, it
makes no difference. Any advice? Bad starter or relay?
Thanks.
