Yeehaaaa! got her running and she is running very well!
Thanks for the advice as well, as I ensured the shut-off was working and she was strapped down well. I created a closed loop cooling just as the car uses before it gets warmed up and put a can of biodiesel on the floor as it's fuel supply. Once I jumped the glow plugs as you suggested, it fired right up without delay!
Man, I'm excited now - but I just wish I had something to put it in now that I got my 85 300d back together after the valve job and running the way it should. Hopefully a 300d or sd will become available with a great body and bad motor...
Thanks again for the help!!
