Also check all your grounds carefully (shiny metal to shiny metal).
I already did that. I really appreciate you offering the suggestion, though. There has to be a simple solution that I'm just overlooking.
As a side note, you coming down here to cousin Jerry's in 2 weeks? We all met at Roseville. I had the ugly, POS long step.

I pulled the plug wires & checked the resistance. All were good, except one. My multimeter showed that it was open. I wouldn't think that 1 plug wire would cause all these problems; & the plug wires were installed the same time as all the other ignition parts.
