I'm assuming you're asking this about your '85, which will not have an afterglow feature built into the stock relay, meaning that as soon as the relay senses the starter engaging, the gp's kick off. I'm not sure if an afterglow relay can be purchased for the 123's or not. The plugs will always be on at full power when they're engaged, no half power setting.
Sorry, but a little too fast. "The relay will run the full cycle ", what is the full cycle process of the GP's? "meaning that as soon as the relay senses the starter engaging", so your saying that the dash light may go off, but the relay is still suppling power to the GP's until the starter is kicked over?
Last, this is a question that may be for the WVO part of my car. "afterglow relay ", this would keep the GP's on after the engine is running?
