Default Ford starters sensitive to resistance?

There's a big note on Advance Auto Parts' website that says that the starter for the Torino is sensitive to resistance. The starter in the car currently won't turn over at all. I can hear the relay click, I get continuity through the relay, but no love. I pulled the wire from the relay to the starter, and it's got 6000 ohms of resistance on it, so, it's obviously rotten. I tried testing the starter by clipping a lead from my jumper cables to the starter and then tapping it to the battery, but no love still. Am I missing something in the circuit, the jumper cables put too much resistance still, or is the starter plainly dead?
