I have a '62 merc 1000, and have had starter/ignition probs. I cleaned
the starter up, and she spins strong. The problem is, its spinning
the wrong way. The wiring is correctly hooked up, and I'm at a loss.
Any ideas would be appreciated immensely!!!!!!

hmmm, I didn't read your post right.

1962? That would probably be an old Delco or Prestolite starter with
copper fields.

If that be the case then you probably have the brush's a quarter turn
off. that would reverse the polarity.
