First use a meter to test the resistance of your grounds- valve cover, thermostat, transmission and battery, and also all of your fuses. Don't touch the wires when testing, touch bare metal on the parts they connect to. Make sure each ground bolt is tight and each fuse is pushed or screwed in before testing. Any resistance is a weakness in the circuit. Next, have a shop or parts store test your start & charge system (alternator & battery).
And thank you Mike for letting us know what the problem was. Too many people ask for help and then just disappear without letting anyone know how it turned out. When people search older forums for info, it really helps them to have the solution pointed out at the end.
