Thanks for the intel Mark. Appreciate it!
Gonna wait on the glowplug thing until I get it running. When I tried
it before the exhaust was laying against the ground strap and block so
maybe it caused a short or something. This car had some bizarre Radio
Shack 1990's alarm system on it which I pulled and I fear will be the
bane of my existence when I try to start the beast.
