I do have some news - Because my volt meter had conked out , I had checked the power , at the positive side of the coil , with a test light . It showed power . I didn't know how much ? Well , I got a new voltmeter today and it shows only 8 volts at the positive side of the coil with the ignition switch on but not in the cranking position. What does this tell you guys ? I think I may have a dragging starter that's sucking up all the power . As you can tell and I'll freely admit , I'm not much of an electrical kind of guy ! This is kinda ironic since my father was a life-long electrician .If this lights a " bulb " above any ones head , let me know your thought 's . Thanks again !
