Not sure about the best way, but have you tried two wires hooked to an auxiliary 12v power source? Soldier B helps inform light on/off condition, while soldier A holds the leads. Although tempting, I would NOT use a truck battery as an alternate source, small 12v battery should be enough.

Greetings folks, I'd like to add Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed to the list. Not my favorite, but a good read indeed. It's just to hard to compete against Yossarian's logic in Catch-22: "He had decided to live forever or die in the attempt..." :grin:.

Congratulations!:beer: What method worked for you?

My humble 2cents, I had to bang a swollen glow plug tip back into the pre combustion chamber (stuck in glow plug entrance) and pull it out through the injector port. I covered the hole from the P.C. chamber to the cylinder to avoid debris from entering, put a punch on it and banged away. Had to...
