[Vwdiesel] GAS TO DIESEL IN AN 85 JETTA

[Brian and Ruth Decker]

Your wire that went from the key switch to the distributer will run the fuel
solenoid on the injection pump. For Glow plugs I mount a push botton with a
hot wire to one side the other goes to an old style Ford starter solenoid
which gets its power direct from the battery and the other side goes to the
glow plug buss bar. Depending on how cold you engine is you just count the
appropriate amount of seconds to heat the glow plugs. I have this glow plug
system on all my VW diesels.

I have moved a diesel engine from a Rabbit, hooked up to a 5 speed tranny
with a new clutch and pressure plate into an 85 Jetta.

Probably normal problems making this switch including but not limited to the
direction of the input hose into the radiator not to mention that the upper
radiator hose for diesel has that small hose branching off and going to the
reservoir tank.  (Coolant system is done.)

Anyway, any one that has done a job like this could probably save me a bunch
of time by letting me know how you solved the source for the electrical
supply for the glow plugs, the electrical for the injection pump and any
other electrical I'm not even thinking about yet.

I've removed the fuel pump and filter from the gasoline system but retained
the internal fuel tank pump.  Haven't, as of yet, gotten the fuel lines
spliced in for my supply and return.  

What's a good source for the plastic adjustment fittings for the headlights?

Is there any other problems I haven't even considered yet?

I'll appreciate any knowledgeable insights.
