Message So you know how every issue is something stupid you did or didn't do? Turns out the B/Y wire from the Alternator harness to the Engine harness connector came loose at some point.

Strange thing is it didn't start right away. I did see that the Alternator harness in the radiator area was now getting 12V so I did another test with the multimeter past the actual connector to the starter (on the starter side) and when my buddy turned the key it started cranking and scared the shit out of me. I'm guessing that connection wasn't seated and/or is dirty.

Thanks everyone for the help! Especially you Grimm!
I'm happy this community is still so active for a car that is a quarter century old. Like Frldy_Z said, I hope someone in the future digs this post up and it helps them out. I know I learned a lot about diagnosing electrical issues from this debacle.
