I suspect that any old reamer for a 617 should work just fine in your
115. Gump on the other hand has a 615 engine and who knows what tool I
could use should I ever need to ream her

So, if I understand correctly, (I've never yet had a glow plug out)

When a new one gets installed, it isn't going to work if the carbon
blocks
the hole and the fuel does not reach the glowplug. The answer then is
to get
the carbon out of the hole and hence the use of the reamer to
accomplish the
task.
So, how specialized is this tool and where would I find one that would
work
on my old 115 76 300D? Most of you folks seem to have moved on to the
newer
cars so there should be some of these tools floating around out there
that
have not yet achieved antique status and doubled in value (if I'm
lucky?).

If you've had a bad injector or a bad glowplug, the prechamber will
likely
be plugged with carbon. If the plug is so carboned up that you have
trouble
removing it, you know you need to ream out the carbon before you put
the
new one in.
