I have a '76 BJ40.
Someone wired the two batteries in series instead of parallel and may have fried the starter, glow plugs, and many other things.
Before I sink a lot of $$ into fixing it, I am wondering about whether I should go ahead and convert it with a small block Vortec. I know the conversion will cost more, but just wondering what your opinion would be to convert it or not.
p.s. It isn't in good enough shape to be a show car, so keeping it original may not increase the value.
