Thanks--I did catch that bracket issue by shear luck; ran across mention of it somewhere on here, so yes I did get the correct bracket.
I may consider the conversion at some point in the future, but right now I'm just happy to have my truck running again. My other vehicle, a crappy late model...
edpx, that is quite an ordeal! When the starter doesn't work, the solenoid does make a very solid "click" each time, so it does seem to be getting enough juice, but you're right, checking continuity around the whole system might be a good idea, if I get around to it this weekend. Meantime...

Although this is my first post, this site has been invaluable to maintaining and upgrading my trusty CUCV since I got it over a year ago. Thanks!:lol:
