Not Getting 12 Volts at Coil

I took the ohm meter as you instructed and put one probe on the battery negative post and the other probe on the ECU bolt where I ran a ground wire tot the fender. The 1 on the meter went to zero. When I tried the other bolt on the ECU the 1 did not move. Is it properly grounded?

I did the same thing to the voltage regulator, however when I touched either bolts holding the voltage regulator to the inner fender the 1 went to zero. Why did the voltage regulator show ground on both bolts versus the ECU?

Some time ago, I took a dremel to all four female connectors on the ballast resistor and cleaned them to a nice shine. All four fit very tight on the four ballast resistor prongs.

I will buy a can of aerosol ether tomorrow. I'll let you know. You are right. Not being able to start this is making me crazy.
