One thing you have to remember when attempting to do this mod is that the relay systems for the glow plugs are different from 82-83 and 84+. GM did this due to the early relays failing, so it could be advantageous to upgrade to a more reliable 84+ 6.2 system while you are poking around there. If you prefer to keep to your 82 system here is a mini write up on an 82:
