So, I checked for a ballast resistor as two people recommended it, and this car doesn't have one as I have a Ready-to-Run distributor. I then removed the starter and the teeth look good so I'm assuming the internals are fried.

Today, I removed all the spark plugs (all of them were very black - rich), bought some sockets at Harbor Freight, and rotated the crank. It rotated so the engine didn't seize. The thinking was if the water pump seized, then the engine wouldn't get coolant.

So, what could have shut this car down? Maybe it is fuel related?

I also lost another 1/2" wrench for not disconnecting the negative battery cable.
