Does anyone know if the hose adapter from the kit threads into the glow plug holes on a 6.2l engine
to do compression testing measurements?
Thanks,

The hose adapter does NOT fit in the glow plug holes... The STE/ICE-R "transducer kit" does have lots of brass fittings though - 1 of which is a 1/8 pipe fitting that I assume they want you to thread into the glowplug hole.

I did NOT do that - but instead bought a 1/8" pipe nipple at hardware store, cut one end off and used a die to thread 10mm x 1.00 pitch. That is the correct size and thread for the glowplugs.

Get a 1/4to1/8 adapter and that WILL fit on the hose supplied with your STE/ICE-R kit.
