IH D-282 Glow plug setup?

Hi, i rewired my glow plugs on my formal 706 d282, i have one question thats holding me up, when i wire the glow plugs from the junction block to all 6 glow plugs, can't i wire each glow plug individually? because before, one wire came from the junction block, then went to 1 glow plug, then from that glow plug it went to another, then it branched off from the plug to another and that way for all six glow plugs. doesn't it seem like each glow plug would drastically loose amperage that way? my new idea was to just wire each glow plug individually from the junction block so all 6 glow plugs have each evenly divided amperage going to each plug, which would make it start a whole lot faster too! can't i do that? or is it to much of a load for my electrical system? i have 8 gage wire running directly from solenoid to the glow plug meter, then to the pushbutton switch, then to the junction block. from there i planned on using 10 gage wire to each individual glow plugs. i have two pictures i am uploading here, one showing the way i want to do it, and the other picture the way it was before, remember, i want each glow plug to have even distribution.

No reason you can't wire them as you plan.

I wouldn't hold my breath, though, over much quicker or evener heating, or better starting.

Each individual GP only draws maybe 5 Amps, and the factory wiring is adequate to get the job done.

And it's NOT going to put "too much of a load" on your electric system, as nothing much will change in the amperage department.

Thank you, Bob.

Hi, I have an old Toyota D. It has a bar that goes from one glo plug to next to next etc. So it probably doesn't matter which way you wire it. Ed Will Oliver BC

If you are after faster starts, drill and tap the injector bodies for the 7.3 Powerstroke glow plugs. Metric 10 X 1.0 tread. Did that to my 560 and it now starts after 12-15 seconds. Plug wire ends need changed also..

Going to do that to my 460, but someone told me it would be fine to run a die over the glow plug so you wouldn't have to alter the injector. Don't know if it's true that you can just do the glow plug instead though

Yes, just run a 3/8-24 die over 7.3 power stroke glow plugs and change the connector ends, done many on both 4 and 6 cylinder versions of that engine, no sense in tapping the injector.
