The click is probably the solenoid and it may be an echo from the right. Nothing stock I can think of over there would click.. Have you verified battery voltage again after it was reinstalled since charging and did you clean the terminals to bright and shiny when you connected them. Even though you charged the battery there is a possibility that a cell has died and you only have a surface charge that can't put out any amps. I just went thru this on the 47 after it sat for a year.

If you have a voltmeter measure the voltage at the battery posts or at the solenoid as you try to start the car. If it is still 6.3 with ign off but drops more than 1/2 - 3/4 volt or so when you hit the starter the battery or a dirty terminal is suspect.
