Thank you rwest, good intel on the alternator.
This begs the question; can starting/ running the car (even just to test the alternator and voltage regulator, etc) give the potential of spiking power and actually taking out my new CDI? The last thing I need is to ruin the new one which leaves me unable to diagnose! It seems to me it would be a poor design if a voltage spike from a failing regulator could take out the "brains" of the injection system too!!
I will be able to do some tests tomorrow, so I'm getting a pretty good list of potential issues.
