First make sure the engine can be rotated by hand. Use a socket on the crankshaft bolt. After that clean all the cable connections with a wire brush(both ends of both pos and neg cables) Can you tell where the click is coming from? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Sounds like the starter relay. Motor does turn over manually

By starter relay I assume you mean the solenoid on the fender well, next to the battery. If that is making a loud click, then that leaves pretty much just the starter or a cable connection. Those Fords were pretty notorious for connection issues with the cables that looked clean by visual inspection. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

You can't test a battery using a charger. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
