An update to Mark Shepard's quarry. Between other activities haven't had much time to work on my Quantum. However, I did fabricate a "jump cable out of #10 wire. It seemed to help a bit so I am giving it the same treatment as my Dasher, that is to install an old Ford type starter solenoid & push button starter to activate the solenoid. I am also running two #10 wires from the glow plugs as the one #10 wire got warm. It did start although not the way I wanted so I will probably retime it over again. I don't know if the glow plugs were short or long glow glow plugs. When I bought a new set last year from the Parts Place, I just asked for '82 Quantum glow plugs. Hopefully I will get it running next week if I don't have to many interruptions.
