I want test the glow plugs I just took out of the car to see if they get red hot and if I should keep them around for spares. They look pretty new. I'm real dumb with electricity but am eager to learn as it seems real fun.

Ok. 1st do resistence check. -- put plug in vice, clamped at the only good spot , the place you put the wrench to turn it. I put one needle of an ohm meter to the tip where the nut threads on and the other to the vice. It reads .5. Good plug maybe if I did that part right.

Now, I want to see if it gets red hot. I'd like verification from someone that my circuit is correct as the first one did not light up and I do not want to destroy potentially good plugs. Here is a pic of my circuit with a battery charger as the power source . The first time I did it I set the charger to 50Amp/Start mode.

Will this work?

Thanks.,
