Hello Bob:

First, you starter may be okay. � There is a starter relay
that may still be available from list vendors. � It is a
small device. � I have it mounted under the rear seat.
� Basically, when your turn the key to start, it activates
the relay, and it puts full battery voltage on the starter
solenoid. � I have had the one of my '84 for over a decade
and no will not start when hot problems,

John �
