Sounds like slipping dog clutches in the starter bendix. Grease may be frozen.

Ok so I pulled the old coil out and replaced it with the other one I had kicking around.
She started up, but I think this coil didnt help, now I will do the offical test tommorw when the car has been sitting at least over night, but if it does not start than what? is it the coil? or is it a bigger problem?

Hey problem fixed, the coil I replaced my faulty coil was also not working.
So I went to the junkyard grabbed another coil and it now works like a charm.
just so everyone knows
