That's a "hint" to do all of the checks at all of the ground locations and all of the + connections involved in the system. It's good to see you post back. In the links in my first post there's some very basic checks with very inexpensive tools. You might want to use some of the info there and do your checks. It seems you're maybe to quick to rely on the Voltmeter. I'd still consider a "load test" as a "for hire" on a 30+ year old system. That one wire isn't "likely the only".
Thanks everyone for the help. I found the problem. Like most of you said it was probably a ground or a wire running to the starter. I took a look at the starter and saw a burnt wire that was corroded so bad it broke. I fixed the connection and started the vette. My voltage shot up to 14v, again I appreciate everyone's help.
