Ok so the correct regulator is now installed. I cranked it over and no spark still. I swapped out the coils and ot made no difference. Now I'm back to head scratching
Welcome to the forum!
What is wrong with your meter exactly, I might be able to repair it for you if it’s not too bad?
Can you post a brief description of what it’s doing and a few pictures with it powered up with your headlights turned on so it’s illuminated, if possible?
I will send my contact information to your message box as well if you’d like to look into a repair
