    Smile glow plug harness

    Digger welcome to the group

    now down to your conversion I would use a glow plug controller from a p30 step van say 1999 model year. you can still order the harness from gm and controller very simple it hook up all wires correct size and fuseable links already installed basically plug in play you could use 60G glow plugs also.

    good luck

    I might have all the part numbers if you need them when I get back to work next week
