Okay guys, I got the problem figured out.  I decided to remove all the plugs from the bulk head so that I could remove the fusebox/bulkhead from the firewall.  When I did this, I looked at the red wire that connects to the red wire that comes from the starter relay.  It was in really bad shape on the bulk head(inside car) side.  So, I trimmed off the bad portion until I got to a clean copper wire.  I put a new end on it, and put it back into the bulk head.  I reconnected everything and the car fired right up. 

Thanks for the help everyone. Thanks for the diagram Bullitt.  I will save the image and the instructions.  :thumbsup:

It was nice to go for a cruise this afternoon!  I was sad last week because I thought that I was going to have to go though a bunch of wiring to get it figured out. I'm glad I got it fixed!!!! :bigsmile:

Thanks again everyone!
