Once you remove the top cover, are there any internals to switch since it’s going from 24 to 12 volt?

So you’re saying you took the 12v fuel shut off from the bad IP and put it on the new 6.5 IP? Is that easy to do? Is there a model number you have for that IP? On the Stanadyne manual there’s like 5 different 6.5 model numbers? And if I’m buying one, I guess I want to buy a good one

historically, my questions don’t capture a lot of answers but I’m looking for a lot of opinions from people who have replaced their IP’s. Guys, I have a m1009 and m1008 no turbo. My m1008 is starting to lose power and I’ve replaced injectors, lift pump, and fuel filters. So I guess I’m down to...

Working on my m1009. New vacuum hoses and trans vacuum modulator. I know there are a lot posts about vacuum pumps and how to troubleshoot ones that aren’t working. But what about sort of working? I can only get a vacuum of 14-17 out of the vacuum pump by disconnecting the lower hose from the...

Thanks! I thought I bled the system well but I guys it’s possible I didn’t. I’ll let it sit for while and then try again.

Working on a m1009. I have a donor m1009 that ran before starting to pull parts from it. I used the functioning power steering pump from the donor that was not having issues. I installed it on my project m1009 and it drives and functions. BUT, when I turn the wheel to lockout, the fluid spews...

Going back to the engine grounding terminal on the back of the passenger side head with the firewall grounding strap attached to. There is a grounding cable that goes to the grounding block on the firewall. But there is also a mystery black wire coming out of the wiring harness and terminating...

I know right? I got this thing and immediately dove into the issues. I only drove it down my driveway. So I’ve only cranked it once before popping the hood and starting to work

Yeah, I’ve got a donor that’s definitely a 24v starter. I’ll probably just swap them. Especially after looking at the pics and noticing the purple exciter wire terminal is busted on the solenoid. BUT!!! I did just say the hell with it and swapped the starter wire to a 12v terminal on a battery...

the large lug measures 24v. I took pics to judge the starter but I didn’t see the text you refer to

You’re saying the solenoid will read 12v regardless of being connected to 24v?

Can I measure the expected volt draw without actively turning over the engine?

hmmm. When you put it that way, now I feel like a dummy for assuming something that in hindsite doesn’t make any sense. Haha! That’s an easy fix. When I get home, I’ll try using 12v and report back.

you mean: coming off the same terminal that the grounding strap terminates at on the engine? Yes. There is a grounding cable that also connects there and goes to the ground block on the firewall. That same bolt also has a small black wire connected there that I think is a splice from the...

I asked the guy if he swapped the starter to 12v when he did conversion. His answer was no which confuses me a little bc he had it connected to a 12 volt terminal. I did check that terminal before dismantling what he had done. Maybe the starter was getting just enough juice to turn over?
