Car won't crank, no electrical power to anything. Tested battery and alternator and got normal results. Even tested meter on another vehicle with normal, results. Car will start with a boost, but will not restart. Does this car have a voltage regulator? And if so, where is it?

If the car will start with a boost, that means there is no question that the problem is at the battery, whether it be a bad battery of bad connection. If you are simply using a voltmeter to test the battery health that simply won't work. You need to have the battery tested.
