Unfortunately the plugs didn't work. They were a tad too slim to fit so you may be stuck with the expensive ones that you can't get locally. I can add though that my plugs ended up being fine. Maybe this will help others so I will post my issue. Plugs weren't getting hot. Had 12.6V at each plug wire when activated and heard the relay clicking. Just assumed it was a plug issue. I touched the glow end to the positive pole of a 12v battery and ran a jumper wire to the negative pole from the body of the plug. Red hot in no time. Plugs were fine. Learned you can get 12.6V to the plug but it can be a weak voltage which this was caused by a bad relay. So even though the relay clicked and sent over 12V to the wire it was still bad. How did I determine that? My electrical engineering brother and we swapped the starter relay for the glow plug one and ot fired red hot. Good thing is if you take the relay into autozone or equivalent it's actually a very common relay used in multiple applications and it was $19. Good to go!</p></blockquote><p></p>
