If you put a lamp on the I terminal of the contactor it will indicate a stuck contactor, and probably a running starter motor.  If you put the bulb across the starter, it will only indicate if the starter has voltage going to it, i.e. stuck contactor.  If the starter engagement device (Bendix) is stuck to keep the motor running without the contactor being engaged there will be no voltage generated unless it is a permanent magnet starter motor.  Unless the old Delco starter has enough residual magnetism (does it?) in the field to light a bulb, be it an incandescent or and LED.  I'll take the connection to the I terminal, thank you.
