Re: [diesel_mercedes] Fast glow plug conversion

 

Your car takes the fat ones.  When I put the Diesel Giant parallel-wired upgrade kit in my '77 300D, it went from one difficult starting sonuva..... to the easiest starting diesel I've ever owned.  Would out-start some of the gassers I have at 0 degrees F.  I attributed this to the fact it used the big plugs, which may have provided a larger heating surface in the pre-chamber...?  I dunno....

Hey,
Just reporting in on the 77 240D. She's been running fairly well. I only
had one or two incidences of no power in the last week. I think it will
likely go away entirely the more it runs.
My next job is to go to a fast glow plug setup. I am a little confused.
Should my car fit the 12mm or the fatter 18mm plugs?
Thanks again for your help,
