I have an '85 that is doing this exact same thing as we speak but I am not going to be able to look at it for a couple of weeks yet.

Something dumb to check is whether or not the starter is spinning in reverse. If a belt is worn then the starter could be spinning but not be grabbing and pulling the belt. This makes it seem like nothing is working but, in reality, it is. Yes, a worn belt can work in one direction but not the other. Again, this might not be the issue but it's something that coming to mind. If you find a solution please post it.
