When you get a chance you might want to add the glow plug modification to your "to do" list.

You'll see that I talked about that project in the recent post "Soleniod Project- Wire size.

All that mod. does is route the electrical power from the + connection on the engine directly to the #3 glow plug.  Then glow plug switch on the engine insturment panel is wired to that soleniod which opens and closes the #6 wire circuit to the glow plugs.

Unlike Capt Al, I elected to use #6 rather than #8 size wire.

This mod. is already on the M25XPB, M35 and M35BC engines. (that's where the idea came from!!)

A few thoughts

Hey Ron,
The glo plug and key switch are seperate.

Ron E : You confirmed my suspecions.  

You must have a 500 or low 600 hull #.  You could just post it right after your production year of 1988!

RonE58, why not add your hull # to your signature?
