Guys, I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND doing the proper afterglow conversion as gsxr detailed, and not simply cutting/disconnecting the violet wire.

Unbeknownst to me, the PO of my now-wrecked red '87 had cut the violet wire. I had no idea there was such a mod, and simply concluded he had done the afterglow conversion I'd seen mentioned.

Problem is, if the timer circuit in the GP relay malfunctions, the glow plugs WILL NOT SHUT OFF unless you disconnect the harness at the relay, with the violet wire cut/disconnected.

Long painful story as to how I discovered this.
