The OP wants to convert his 1975-1980 solenoid valve system to the 1981-1991 motorized valve system that you already have on your 1986 C10... If your dual tanks are factory installed you don't have a solenoid valve.
Here's the writeup I posted on how the motorized valve system works.

Shotgun repairs are generally expensive and frustrating. Before you throw an $80-150 valve at it replace the $13 switch and repair the damaged wires blown fuse etc... then test the system. Usually, the switch is the problem.
The 87-91 D7089C switch is a
drop-in replacement for the 81-86 DEPRESS FULLY switch with the added bonus that it actually lasts. It will plug right in and snap into the dash where the original switch lived.
I'd start a new thread about your problem rather than highjack this one.
