I realize that. I was responding to Tom's post where he stated that he thought the plugs were being wired in series. Pencil plugs can't actually be wired in series so I was talking about them being wired as if they are in series. I thought Tom was implying that each plug had to have it's own 12 volt feed wire independent of the others. I'm not sure about the voltage drop thru the wires. Will it be so much as to not make the plugs functional at all? If the insulators are used to stop the heavy resistance wires from touching the end of the glow plug then they're not going to work at all.
