a spark plug

will ignite diesel. my son filled my 67 jeepster with it and it ran...barely, and smoked like a fiend.

for a diesel the compression ignition works so much better.

besides how you going to provide it? install a distributor, plug wires, a coil, etc.? yikes!

just get your glow plugs working and unless you are low on compression or the valves are leaking you will run fine.
