#3 1976 was a crossover year. Some of the engines have the old style "loop" plugs and the rest have the newer "pencil" style.

If you do have the older type glowplugs (easily distinguished by both their larger size and the fact they have a large metal "loop" filament connecting each glowplug) then the starting procedure is this:

Turn the key to position #2. The alternator/battery light will glow brightly. Pull out on the start handle to the second position (you will feel a spring resistance). The Alt. light will dim. Hold this position for about 10 seconds. You should get a red glow from the "pepper shaker" (there is an element behind the metal grill). Pull the knob to the starter engaged position and release when the engine catches.

The time spent needing to "glow" will vary according to outside temperature and engine temperature. You'll learn the correct amount.
