My recently-purchased 1993 L300 (P35W Jasper automatic 4D56) came with a single manual 12v glow plug by-pass but ancient-looking 6v glow plugs. The by-pass wiring is rather poor so I planned to replace it along with new glow plugs. (I haven't examined the 6v plugs closely but the van is a bit slow to start and produces a large cloud of black smoke on start-up so I'm guessing not all are working OK.)
Should I stick with both the 6v and 12v relays (and if so, does that require 6v plugs?) or move to a single 12v system? I'm thinking NGK CY57 for 12v plugs but not sure which 6v would be suitable. I thought maybe NGK Y-115T1 but some places list them as 12v. (Below: existing wiring to single momentary switch and glow plugs, showing green tops.)
Thanks for any suggestions to this, my first post!
