Folks,
I gave up and brought it to my local shop in Santa Cruz, CA. It turns out that the wires to the coil were split, and the rotor needed replacement. Doh! They liked the fact that I was trying to restore an old car and gave me a deal on the work. One mechanic said his wife had an 82t for years. I took it out last night and it is a blast to drive. I thank you for all your help! Finally! Now what else can go wrong?
Just kidding. It starts right up and has a slight off idle. I am going to start replacing the vacuum hoses one by one. Thanks for all of your help!
