Cold cold cold start video

It's going to get down to 4 F tonight which does not happen often around here. In the morning should get up to 8 F at which time I will shoot and post a video of my 85 300D cold starting w/o block heater.

-It has a good battery and starter
-5W 40 Mobil I
-tight fuel system
-good injectors
-tank has approx 80% winter fuel.

Any guesses as to:

1. How long should I glow it before cranking?
2. How long do you think it will crank before starting?
3. Will it start?

I'd like to see videos of other diesels starting in single digits. Shoot one and post away
