Default It lives!!!!!

Turns out, there was a break in the wiring between the firewall and the fuse box. Go figure...I was playing with the wire tester to find out what was getting power, and what wasn't and lo and behold, the wire that goes to the small terminal on the starter got no power when the key was turned.
Well, I had the wire tester stuck into that wire, so I hit it with some power, and the starter turned over.
I jumped the brake in the wire and dumped some gas down the carb, and it fired right up. I can't believe it. Thanks everyone who helped, this is a huge load off my mind. Now, I can get down to ordering some parts...haha

Nothing like hearing it fire up for the first time.

Glad you got it worked out and are in a good place now.
