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

Subject: Car started
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.
