I buy my glow plugs from Parramore down in FL. They are the Wellman's. I
have had a set in now for around 4 years that are fine so far. He charges
$6.50 ea. + $5 shipping for 8.

It would. Not applicable on the vehicle I was talking about though because
we've turned it into a straight 12V setup. One day I'll swap the plugs out
into one of the original pattern CUCVs we have and put 11G or 13G plugs back
in the 12V truck. I'd put in AC60G type plugs fleet wide if I had the
choice, but so far I've found no retailer in my neck of the woods (B.C.,
Canada) who stocks them. Changing swelled glow plugs is just not my
favourite thing. I think it's on the list right beneath "shove bamboo
shoots under my fingernails" and "do income taxes."
