IH 820 conversion to work with 1660?

Specifically the auto header height control. Is there a kit to convert the older head to the combine so I can use this function? Been searching all over and don't seem to get more than a vague reference. Anyone ever done this or possible a source to recommend? Appreciate any help.

Try this part number 91829C1 It is a cable to match electrical connection on head to round plug on combine
 
I'm not getting a hit on that part number when I Google it and usually that works. I have a manual arriving in the mail tomorrow for the 820 head. I think that must be a good thing because there are NO electrical connections on the head. There is a mechanical cable like on a bicycle only metal jacketed. While on the subject, there is no round plug on the combine either...just one that looks like the small flat four wire plug on a trailer harness. Heck...it IS a trailer harness plug. I think there has been some modifying going on here in the past. I thought the 820 head had a mechanical system, not electric. Guess I need to wait on the books.
 
OK, manual came today so I know what the parts blow up is supposed to be. So are you thinking I need to pickup all the parts individually from CIH or that there is a conversion kit out there somewhere? Just got thru Shoup, Worthington and Sloan and did not see anything in a catalog. Not sure the head is worth the total cost of the parts to make it compatible with electric hydraulic control.
