    Automatic coolant flange to manual conversion?

    Wow ok, I thought they only came on when the glow plug light was on in the dashboard, like when you turn the key. I wonder why it just doesn't stay on to let you know they're on. Thank you for the knowledge.

    Automatic coolant flange to manual conversion?

    I might hook up the coolant and combustion chamber glow plugs up together on a manual switch and leave them on for a few minutes when I start driving and the engine is cold, is this a bad idea?

    Questions about vacuum system

    I think I figured it out, I switched my n75 out with the old egr valve (n18 maybe) and I could actually hear a whistle now and I felt boost. I'm going to order a new n75 since i think thats it. My vacuum lines read 15 hg, is that the right number?

    Yeah its been like this since I got it, I used my mityvac at the nipple coming out of the brake booster line and thats how I saw the vacuum pump is only giving 5 to 15 psi and its bouncing, I isolated it from the rest of the system except for the brake booster. I changed all the lines about a...
