Welcome to the site,it sounds like a bad connection.
1966 Mustang Starter Relay Problem?
I backed my car out of my garage to put some things away, went to restart the car and now only get a semi loud ticking sound on the starter relay when I turn the key on to start. I've swapped out the battery and the starter relay to no avail. Any ideas, I'm at a loss. If it matters, it's a 289. Thanks for the help.

Hello.
:welcome Yup. I think that I would start by cleaning up both ends of both battery cables.

If it's transfering power to the starter and the connection there is good and the starter's housing is making good contact with the engine block (the starter gets its ground through its housing), the starter is suspect.
