Sorry been busy and have been just jumping it to get it started. We had YES come in a few days ago and was told it could possibly be a voltage drain and that the starter and alternator was pulling from battery while not being operated. So, my only thought would be bad diodes in the alternator causing a parasitic draw. I don't have my amp meter here but I will grab it for tomorrow.
 
The Vacuum switch is mounted directly on the intake manifold so I'm thinking it's getting enough vacuum. But just for the **** of it I took it off and cleaned out the fittings to make sure there wasn't any debris. I also tested continuity between the two connections using a vacuum to pull switch to activate.

I can check for oil in the regulator and see if that is the issue.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
