Well, not just yet...

You need to verify that the correct plug is installed. The older 'series' or 'loop' plug is different that the newer 'pencil' plug.

With an ohmmeter, loop plug should read open from electrical connector to chassis ground, pencil should read under 1.0 ohms.

If you want, undo the electrical connector and unscrew a plug to see what it would look like. Loop plug has a fat wire loop on the business end, pencil plug is one smooth tube.

Do a BuyParts lookup of your model and year. Loop plugs are under Glow Plugs, and the newer pencil plugs are under Glow Plug Kit.

Let us know.
