Well the problem was unpredictable behaviour of the glow system. It started with it working intermittently, but when I would see the dashboard glow light, I would have glow.
In my past experience, all roads have led to the relay... so I acquired a used one and installed it. The problem then became less predictable -- sometimes I would not see any glow light, but it would glow, and other times, vice versa.
HOWEVER, before you waste effort in replying, late yesterday I think I found the issue, and if that is the case, I will be asking for the official peachparts forum corner stool and white cap. More later as I am not sure I have actually fixed it.
That still leaves the issue with the 12.36v key-off battery output, however. (I have 14.29v with the car running.)

I removed and cleaned up the main ground strap (at the battery I mean) this fall when I cleaned the battery posts and cables.
Where are the engine grounds?
