It seems that my problems have grown.  I had installed the new voltage
regulator and drove the car around after that.  Put the car on ramps and
decided to install my new air pump then noticed the wire end that appeared to
be broken off the plug from the harness to the voltage regulator.  It was a
red wire.  The starter will turn over, but I am not seeing any spark to the
plugs. I see twleve volts when I move the key to run position on the coil.  I
am not really sure what to check next or how to check it.  I feel that it may
have something to do with the wire, but it may not.  I would think that I
should be able to start the car just from the battary without the voltage
regulator hooked up.

Any ideas in how to track this down. I was hoping to take it to a local car
show this weekend.  Instead of cleaning and fixing minor issues I am trying to
get the car running just to get it there.
