My starter on my 85 SD has given me fits, it wouldn't work, just click like yours, then it would send smoke up thru the motor. I spotted this when the hood was up. Thought I was cranking too long. Tried another time, saw smoke, had been cranking only a few seconds. I got under the car and traced the source with my hand. Almost burnt my hand on the stud that the battery connects to the solenoid and saw it wiggle. This is the source of my problem and will replace again ( I just replaced it last year) when it gets warmer.
