Ok, I thought I would put and end to this novel.
Apperantly the regulator was the culprit. This thing toasted two batteries. I replaced the regulator, installed the third battery and presto magnifico she runs.
During my trails and tribulations I replaced the starter relay,solnoid,starter,regulator,ignition switch,coils,three batteries. Checked and dielectric greased every switch,bulb,spade clip,fuse,ground several times.
