To operate or test the starter from under the hood, the Service Socket connects to Starter terminal 50. (Via the Neutral Safety Switch if car has Auto Transmission.) A jumper wire from Battery + to the Service socket should energize the starter solenoid (assuming the Neutral Safety Switch is good).
The Service Socket, and a test light or meter, can also be used to see if the Ignition Switch is sending +12v to the Starter when in position III (at least as far as the NSS).

The 940 Service Socket (Blue) is shown below:
