How to install Glow Plugs in a 6.2 Liter GM Diesel

Unplug the wires, use a 10mm socket and ratchet then unscrew. Screw in new plugs. Helps with cold starts. VT247.

Do you have to take the manifold off to replace the plugs?

Is the exhaust going to clear, when you put the engines in the car? Also
what might work, for your charging system, switch the alternator, then you
don’t need to mess around with the belt, I think that will work!

@redneckbryon Exhaust on the 6.2L diesel comes out about the same place as
the 5.0L gas. I’m leaving the belt system and diesel alternator. Will
rewire the wiring on the Caprice to adapt to the diesel. Think the original
gas alternator has different mounting holes than the diesel, need to
recheck that. VT247

Nope, they’re located on the side by the injector. VT247

My daily driver is a 1986 Ford Tempo with the 2.0 liter Mazda RF engine
with a 5 speed manual. I average over 50 miles per gallon. I want to get
the Caprice wagon done so I can use it for longer trips to get decent miles
per gallon. VT247

I can’t wait to see the finished project. I would love to have a 1996
Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham with a 6.2 L Diesel conversion. I currently
have an 1981 Oldsmobile 98 Brougham 4d with the factory 5.7 L Diesel. It
was rebuilt in 2000 and has about 50,000-miles on the rebuilt- the car has
123,000 on it. I get 33 mpg Hwy- very gentle driving at 55 mph . It has a
rear end differential conversion that allows the car to basically idle at
55 mph. If my 5.7 goes, I plan to put a 6.2 Diesel in it
