On my daughter's '82 KJet we ran into a no-hot start problem. Two wiring connectors were the culprit(s). First one is the connector on the starter solenoid--wiring insulation was shot & crumbling & some shorting was happening when hot, not when cold. Second one was more difficult to find--I was looking for the ingnition ballast resistor, which seems to have disappeared by '82. However, I did find a male/female spade connector pair on a blue wire if I remember correctly located on the passenger side of the engine compartment back near the firewall. Manipulating those connectors really freaked out the engine. Cause was corrosion--cleaned 'em out good with 400 sandpaper, reassembled with a dab of WD40 & no problems since.

Good luck & let us know what you finally find out the culprit is on yours.
