I'd start by bypassing the ignition swtich.. feed 12v straight to the solenoid. If no joy, bridge the braided wire between the solenoid and starter and see if the starter turns (of course, it won't engage the gear, but will give you an idea)

Round plugs and brown wires? I guess I can't say without looking, but it was a brown wire that went to the neutral safety switch in my '70 145... But I don't think a '66 would ever have come with an automatic...

Wish I was there.. this one sound like fun!
