you say your 83 diesel won't start cold, or won't start easily ?

what have you done so far to address that ?
more or less has to be related to ..
glow plugs,
engine compression,
injectors spraying right..
injection timing.
possibly not cranking fast  enough cold.

you're using the Cold Start injection advance knob, right ?
I strongly recommend a fuel additive in diesels btw.

glad you got your wires figured out.
