Found the problem!! The connector to the glow plug switch somehow completely corroded. After wiring in a new toggle switch with light she works great now. Thanks again for all the help!

thanks again for the great advice and quick responses. i'm hoping to go saturday mourning so i'll let ya know how it goes
