Start checking at the starter relay under the air filter for a fuseable link in the accessory wire

I assume this is a 7.8L? If it is, chances are the problem lies in the fuel shut off wiring, relay or solenoid itself.

Hi Ray,
My fusesble was replaced with a 12 ga wire. I was really suprised that it doesn't show the fuse link in OEM 1981 wiring diagrams or the shop manuals. I didn't really need the info, I knew what to do, just suprised I wasn't able to verify it. Hmmmm.
