I hate electrical problems so hopefully someone has a suggestion for me.

Right now I'm gettign no electrical power at all.  I turn the key and
don't even get the faintest glow on the indicator lights, power to the
radio, starter, etc.

The problem occurred when I was out driving around.  I have had some
vapor lock problems and the car started to sputter a little like vapor
lock so I pulled over and let it idle.  It idled fine for about 5
minutes then started to stall.  I tried to press the gas, but it just
died.  When I tried to start it I did't get any power to anything like I
mention above.

I had my wife come and find me and tried to jump it just in case it was
the battery, but still no juice.  I had the car towed home and have
tried to trace the issue with a multi-meter, but when you're not getting
electricy flow it's hard to trace the problem (at least for me).

I'm guessing it my problem is in the ignition unit on the steering
column, but I don't want to go out and buy new parts and replace old
ones indescriminately in hopes of solving the problem.

Any thoughts anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,  Bob
