Can a bad voltage regulator affect spark on your engine?
Is the voltage regulator in the ignition sequence or is it strictly for system charging?
I have replaced the starter, relay, coil, condenser, cap & rotor. I had spark when I changed the condenser and the engine ran for about 6 seconds then would not start. I checked for spark again and had none. I traced wires with my multimeter and when I got to the voltge regulator on the back of the alternator the wires just crumbled and fell apart.
Should I still have spark without a regulator?
Ok then, if the regultor doesn't prevent starting (new battery, good charge) and I blew another condenser, what would be causing that? I am going to test the condenser at my lunch break but I did test the old one and it was bad.
What causes a condenser to fail?

if you have enough voltage to crank the engine you have enough to fire the coil. not the regulator.

the click noise exchange right into a different sign of low voltage on your battery. it must be a parasitic drain on your battery. checking the voltage of the battery does not make certain it is powerful sufficient to crank the engine. the analyzing you get is from the floor charge of the battery. in the journey that your battery is approximately 4 years previous you have got warning signs like those you have suggested. your going to desire a clean battery or in all likelihood a starter

Yes, as long as battery voltage is 12 volts.
Put a charger on the battery...
It should start and run.... then...
Redo the wiring to the alternator.
While your trying to start the engine the alternator is not involved.

Grey area but if voltage gets too blow to the coil , power out of it may not be high enough to jump the gaps
