Thanksfor that clarification whunter. I was particularly interested in the comment that the system can be adapted for use with just about any diesel glow plug system. That Ford Solenoid looks like any generic solendoid out there. Makes this a very doable-looking mod for any system by the looks of it.

What kind of kit are you talking about that's not available and maybe discontinued?

BTW, on the topic of GPs, have you considered using 6v or 7v GPs? I ask only because I run a 24V system on my Cruiser and one of the favourite mods by people is to use lower voltage GPs to start those big diesels. I believe mine uses 14V GPs.

There are also those who modify that system using something known as a "Wilson Switch", which is really a manual bypass of the timer. I guess its not so necessary for a Merc diesel.
