Forget the plugs for a minute....I assume you got your starting problems fixed? Pray tell, what was the culprit?

Ed,

It turned out that after changing the starter and solonoid, I must have damaged the voltage regulator because I had a high resistance ground on the red battery lead on it. When tightening the battery cable, I hit the ground post two times with mucho sparks. I guess the fine wires in the voltage regulator did not like that. It was dragging down the battery and was the cause of the low voltage and the clicking soloniod. After a trip to the local parts store for a new regulator and $16 later, I am up and running !!!
