Seems to be a quiet day today..........
You can just take a look under the hood and determine which type you have.
The older loop style plugs are connected in series and there is a large curved wire that runs between each plug.
The new style pin plugs are connected in parallel and there is a single wire attached to each plug. No wires run from plug to plug.
If you lose one glow plug in the older style,
all plugs fail to operate.
If you lose one glow plug in the newer style, only that plug will fail to operate. In this case, the vehicle should start relatively normally. If more than one plug fails, then you'll get into starting issues with this type as well.
