The choke may have failed and is creating a short.  You might want to
bench test it.

OK, going through all the wiing again.  I decided to check the voltage
at the
choke.  Removed the lead and then thought I would try to start the car.
Fired
right up.  Not sure what is going on, but something has changed
somewhere
since I have had this lead on there for a while and it is the correct
12v that
is required by the carb.  Does not explain the low or no spark condition
that
I was seeing.  Maybe a grounding issue or something I am not sure.  I
can live
without the electric choke if the car starts.

Thanks as always for the suggestions.  I have messed up a few things,
corected
them and checked a lot of things that were OK.  So I should have the
good
feeling that everything is good.  Now to get ready for the show.  I did
a
little cleaning last night and need to do some vacuuming and install my
passenger seat again.  Try out some new seats since I could not get the
car
started..  Still need some work there.
