I know you saw my post & left your number. Just saw it today. my first conversion failed, as you can see from my post. here is what i did to get up & running again. I removed the relay that was put in as part of the "doghead" conversion. I read about it in another post & searched it out. very informative with good pictures & directions. I bought thye starter from a seller on EBAY named caltric. I can double check the name. starter was $ 110, and shipping was $ 20. all of the fusible links at the glow plug relay had to be replaced. I bought a roll of 12 gauge fusible link wire, terminal connectors, and heat shrink. after replacing the relay, fusible links, and starter, I went to the battery closest to the front of the vehicle. I removed the wire from the negative side of the battery that goes to the front of the vehicle in front of the battery support bracket. I replaced this with a fusible link. That way, if there is any future type of failure, the link will go before wipng out any wiring. I'm sure you will see that your existing wire is burned. the first conversion that was done on my 84 m1009 failed, because I believe that the starter they used was incorrect. so far I have had no problems since replacing the starter, and redoing the relay conversion myself.
