Sounds like you had a more productive morning than I did.
When you're feeling better there's another connection that sometimes likes attention,
the starter end of the heavy cable down from the starter solenoid.
My son's first car (Ford) developed a problem with the starter, it only worked 'most' of the time.
I found the nut holding the large cable lug onto the starter stud was slightly loose and it would arc a bit. The weak connection would occasionally break, until it re-welded itself.
Filed all the crud off and added a (missing?) flat and lock washer to hold the nut tight on the lug & starter stud.

There was another Cable connected to the SAME Bolt. Not sure what it was, but cleaned it with the Sanding Drum.

That other cable might have been a Ground cable for the body of the car, with all its lights and accessories. Eventually cleaning the other end of it would be a good thing too.
