    Default Glow plugs again

    Now the burb is starting fine(sort of) its time to get all 8 to fire cold,. So i'm looking to buy some plugs,.
    Is there a latest and greatest new thing to come along?
    Lots of low priced glow plugs on amazon,. Has anybody been using them?
    Just curious for any real life testing going on,..

    Stay away from the goody goody crap.

    The 60G plug takes a tad more time to glow, but they don't swell up when they go away.

    Remember.

    You can access all but number 8 on the RH side through the access hole in the inner fender..
    I added a mouse hole in the Dahooooley which allowed accessing the #8 plug and the heater hoses too

    Remove the tire/wheel and then the rubber flap

    Unless #8 is very cooperative....leave it alone..
    Having 7 plugs working will get the six and a half lit up fine.

    #8 will come up in a few seconds anyway.

    A bit of extra smoke will handle the Skeeters
