Dave,
First and foremost- make sure your battery is fully charged. If it is even a little low it may make the car appear to have a bad starter.
What I would do next is keep the starter off of the car but wire it up on the car and see if you can get it to activate and spin properly. If it does, then I would shim it and install it and try again. If it doesn't work then then (as they said above) you need to replace it.
