[T3] I think I found the problem, sort of


OK, so I futzed with some stuff and got The B. running.

ðtook off the dist. cap and wiped everything down.  Car doesn't start.  

ðChanged fuse #15, car doesn't start.

ðattached jumper cable to hot wire on voltage regulator, other end
attached to wire from switch to coil.  Car doesn't start.

ðfiddled with throttle-springy thingy, pried off lid on generator
pulley; had friend turn key, car starts.

Drove car in rain.  Come home, shut car off. 5 minutes later, turn key
to start, car doesn't start.

I think moisture is getting into the electrical system somewhere, but I
don't know where.    Under distributor cap?
Is it OK to spray WD-40 under there?  Or is the moisture getting into
something else?
