----I think I have my problem solved. I ordered an ECM from Summit and it was actually their instructions that provided the clue. One of the tests they suggested was to check the voltage at the {+] coil post saying it should read between 7-9 volts. Mine measured < 1. So I knew I had screwed up something when I rewired. So i started tracing everything and discovered I had switched the two coil leads. I'm surprised it ran at all. So I sit here red faced and embarrassed. And thank everyone for their help and suggestions. As usual I managed to learn a few things along the way.
Thanks Everyone, Paul L.

The engine will just shut off while driving. No sputtering or anything it just shuts off like someone threw a switch. It will not restart while in motion but as soon as I pull to a stop it will start right up. It happened at 5 mph, 35 mph, and 60 mph. It has happened after driving 2 blocks, 5 miles, and 10 miles. When rewiring I soldered every connection and I eliminated the ammeter. I had driven it several times for up to an hour and never had a problem. And now it has happened the last 3 times I drove it. The last time it happened after driving 10 miles, but then I drove it an additional 30 miles with no problem. I'm running an orange box and an Accel coil.
When eliminating the ammeter the 10 ga. red wire that ran to the ammeter was relocated to the starter relay. A second 10 ga. wire was run from the starter relay to the black 10 ga. wire under the dash that had run to the ammeter as it supplies power to the dash. Just wondering if I have too much power running to the starter relay. I'm still running a stock alternator.
Any ideas?
Paul L.
