Just to fill everyone in who was interested, involved or concerned,
Sophia is running again!!!

To make a long story short:

Replaced battery, alternator, ignition switch, coil, plugs and wires and checked cam timing, pump timing, and modified ignition timing, and she runs great!!

I believe I had a short in the ignition switch which kept current going to the coil, drained the battery, overloaded the alternator and fried the plug wires.

I was getting less than 6 volts to the coil when ign. switch was on and that really told the story.

Thanks for all of your recomendations, advice and help in this.
I know where to turn if (when) anything else happens in the future.
