I must be missing it. What do you mean by modified connectors?

Do,they have the spade type. I can't see the picture anymore on the listing.

If so, they are the earlier style glow plug system. I think up to 86 or so...

Well they are made in the USA. I would give them a shot if I didn't have my new zd-9's in.

im not trying that ****!
but if someone needs plugs, ill pay half to get you to try them!
well, 20 bucks anyways. (but you must give a daily report)
just iinterested in the way they marketed them.
never having an early IDI, i had no clue some were like this.

thought id throw it to the wolfs to see if you all ate it up, or flamed me

I ran dual coil wellmans in my idi without issue. They have been in since 08 and lasted till this winter. I beat the living hell outta them too in the winter running fire calls. The fact they lasted as long as they did is impressive to me.

I don't know that the new ones are made to the same spec but if they were I would not hesitate to buy another set.

Says in the fine print they are Wellmans.

Gonna buy a set and check them out. Not in a truck just now, but on my tester, then maybe later in the 92. I'll make a U-tube video when testing.

Edit: Ordered them. $55.94 shipping and OH tax.

But i am concerned with the o ring seal. What material is the o roing made out oif, wha tkind of temps can it be used under without drying out?

To quick with the questions, won't be here until Apr. 3. I don't know why anyone would need an O'ring seal, I'll see. They show a tapered seal.

I gave those plugs a try years back, and had nothing but trouble from them, ended up getting my money back.

The claim is that there a new design with dual elements and heat controlled, that's why I'mm gonna check them out for you guys.

Edit: I'll be sure and put them thru a rigourest testing.

The plugs that I used said that they were "new self limiting dual coil". And when I tested them, they were self regulating (like most glows are), but ended up having 4 burnt out in just a couple months.

The o ring is an internal seal on the shaft. These still have the compression seal made by the taper seat that you can see. I too am wondering why an internal o ring...
