I found the problem! Worn out Hall Sensor. I added a zip tie to the plug on the distributor not the harness. Starts right up. Thanks to the suggestion from a Van Cafe old time mechanic and Chris their customer service person.
I have a new Hall Sensor ordered. Should have it here at the farm this week.


Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Learned a lot! I also now have a nice new digital VOM Meter for testing my Westy  electrics (Thanks Dennis H for that thought.)
Installing the new Hall Sensor looks challenging. I hope I do that correctly.
