I'd put in pencil plugs. I don't think the existing relay is compatible with pencil plugs. I'd convert to a Ford starter relay and push button system.

I'm aware of the glow plug conversion but am trying to keep the car as original as possible.

It's not a daily driver so I'm ok with temperamental cold weather starting so long as it's not indicative of something serious.
