Thats about what I did on a couple cars. The pencil type plugs that come
in the larger thread size are more $ than the 12mm ones but well worth it
in my mind. You should change the 50 amp strip fuse to the 80 amp one and
cut your glow time way down (5-10 sec +-) Sorry dont have the P/N

For a 1977 300D, want to convert from filament type plugs to pencil type
plugs. Understand that I will need a pencil type plug by Bosch that has
the same thread size as my existing type filement type Bosch plugs.
Question: does anyone have the exact Bosch part number for these types of
plugs.
Understand to change from series electrically need to disconnect the
braided ground wire. Will use 10 guage wire connectors between pencil
plugs. No timer change out is required. Is this the jist of this? Thanks
in advance.
