Thanks Art,
I think I've fully turned my hat around from the side that says Fuel Chaser to the side that says Spark Chaser. Removed and went over every connection related to starting/running last night especially the big fat ones from battery to starter and alternator to starter and all is clean with no green that I could find. Put the timing light in the trunk and repainted the timing mark on the pulley so next time it happens I can really check for spark (now thinking my homemade gauge might not be fully accurate) and also the timing. Also went ahead and ordered a full ignition set (plugs, wires and cap - gonna use the new rotor on shelp) as I looked and it had been 25k miles so it can't hurt. I like your theory the voltage getting dragged down because it explains one thing I have been wondering about which is why does it never cut out while running. I'll post back when I know something.
Robb McC
