    Wheels, dolly or cradle for MEP-003a

    Hey 95blklsc, that is pretty slick looking setup. That is exactly what I was trying to envision. Are those two small Battery Tenders I see bolted near the battery enclosure? I was also thinking about doing that as well. Thanks for the pics!

    MEP-003A glow plugs

    I am working on getting my MEP003A running. I have a glow plug that ohm'ed out as being bad. I soaked it with PB-Blaster for a week, but of course it still broke off in the head! What all is involved with drilling it out? It looks like I have to, at minimum, remove the intake manifold...
