Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
that's a good idea, I always wondered why they didn't just use a larger thread. My experience has been that dual resister plugs like the ford 7.3 uses will almost never swell upIt would have made too much sense to have the GPs thread into an adapter that could be removed regardless if the GPs were swollen. Overpaid pencil pushers that never had a dirty hand.
You should be golden. I have used nothing but A C Delco 13G glow plugs for over 25 years of private ownership. Did I have any failures? Yes. But nothing I couldn't handle with a vise grips a prybar and a set of forceps. I have removed steering shafts, Inner fenders on both sides and a lot of fuel delivery nozzles but never had to remove a cylinder head. You only need to be 1% smarter than the object you are working on. Good Luck. I hope it all works out for you.Took all day. But went with the ac delcos. One broken plug took three hours to finally extract thru the injector bore. I have read the back and forth about the delcos. Im hoping it works for me with a factory setup. Ill let yous know how it goes.
Leroy Diesel has the glow plugs removal tool. I have bought several of them for friends they work excellent. I'm surprised more people don't know about these.You should be golden.

Where I bought mine and a few for gifts.
Shes back up and running great. Plugs cycle breifly in the morning and then thruout the day after warmup on restarts it never comes up wait to start. I did not know to depress the pedal on cold starts. Does everyone do this? It high idles for about 15-20 seconds and then automatically kicks down. I guess its that solenoid at the top center of the motor.Took all day. But went with the ac delcos. One broken plug took three hours to finally extract thru the injector bore.

That one with the yellow head is not a cheapy. that is an original AC Delco 13 G. Back in the day they had yellow plastic insert and were made in USA. Now they have black plastic inserts and are made in Italy or Germany. IMHO they are still the best glow plugs for a CUCV 13G all the way. 25 years of private ownership and over 50 CUCV's will never convince me of any other way. Have a Great Day.Plus one for the Glow Plug removal tool. I was pulling all of mine to put in some 60G plugs. The guy that had it before me put some cheapies in and the one that was stuck was different from the cheapies so I'm betting it was stuck when he changed them as well and he just left it.
