glowplugs don't work but a squirt of WD40 does it everytime... I just short connectors on starter ad it comes right up
and unplugging the vacuum lines to kill the car!
my question is will continued use in this state cause any damage to the electrical sys or otherwise???
thank you for any input!

You might find you'll get a better response if you don't post the same question in 9 different threads. If it's that important to you, it might be best to start a fresh post.
EDIT: Sorry, it looks like 13 different threads AND your own in 24 hours.
My answer to your question would be that you should probably fix the ignition, as your system seems like an awful lot of trouble and time.
Grinding the pin off does not fix the tumbler, it simply helps in the removal and replacement of it.
