Two hours should do.

My 87 300D hasn't seen much use of late, two bad GP's and waiting for a weekend with decent weather to change them out.

Yesterday (Friday), I didn't have much choice but to drive it, as I needed to leave the Jeep at home for a auto glass repair service to come by and replace the cracked windshield.

I already had a timer and extension cord set up for the Jeep - not to help it get started, but so I could get some bloody cabin heat out of it that much sooner - set to come on at 3:30 AM and go off at 5:30 AM just as I'm leaving for work.

Plugged in the 87 the night before. Went out at 5:30, let the four remaining glow plugs do their job until the SRS light went out. Mid-30's up here in Mooresville, and it fired up smooth as glass.
