Be careful wiring the glow plugs. There are two contacts on the top of each plug...one is the metal ring and the other is the metal stud that the nut screws onto. The two wires on each plug need to be separated by the ring shaped insulator.
Assuming you still have the original jumpers, there will be two sizes of rings on the ends. The order is, starting from the front:
#1, outer connection - small ring, connecting to the engine block
#1, inner connection - large ring, connecting to the large ring (inner connection) on #2
#2 outer connection - small ring, connecting to the outer connection on #3
#3 inner connection, large ring, connecting to the inner connection on #4
#4 outer connection, wire to dash indicator.
If the original jumpers are missing, just wire them in series. These plugs don't care which way the current flows as long as they're not connected directly across 12 volts.
If someone wired them wrong, they've probably burned out the dash indicator by shorting it to ground, as happened to mine. Fortunately the break was close to one end of the indicator/resistor wire, so I just moved the unbroken end into the terminal. Might make the plugs run a little hotter, but not much.
Just got new plugs at NAPA, Champion CH-28, $16 each.
Some one had been using ether on mine, also. I finally got it to fire the other day without ether, am making progress. Compression is a little low but consistent across all four cylinders, which doesn't help the hard starting problem. I also think the injectors are probably clogged, which doesn't help either. If running a couple tankfuls of fuel with injector cleaner doesn't help, I'll probably have to have the injectors rebuilt.

Today's Featured Article - The Great Escape - by Dave Hollrah. It all began Monday with a little baling of second crop on the lake shore field, and as I drove out past my sister and her hubby's place, this small calling sound could be heard from the general direction of their manure pile. Out of the yard, over the cows and bale piles, through the dozer piles, poplars, and brush, out onto the ditch grade road, past the noisy 6.2 diesel engine pulling my well traveled Suburban along. Well it sure didn't take me long to figure out what it was because I alrea
