Glow Plugs

So is the consensus on the AC Delco brand glow Plugs? I read on another thread not to use the Autolite brand, so just checking to see if the AC Delco is quality brand. If not I will shop around, I don't want to install something that won't last.

I believe that the general concenious is to use ONLY Auto Lite. If I'm wrong the Guru's will jump in and beat me up.

OK then I take it you don't think much of the AC Delco parts. I will shop around to see if I can find either the ZD-10 or ZD-11 (Beru plugs) or the (International) 1820697C2.

TJ, If anyone was going to jump in and "DO" me I knew it would be you.
I was thinking AutoZone but I was reading Autolite. Getting old is not for sissys.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks guys, The Motorcraft thing helps. I talked to four different parts stores today including Autozone and not one of them had herd of the Beru brand. I will make some more calls on Wednesday to see what I can come up with.

Black Cowboy - With the right GPs, a good relay etc. and no other problems they could last for years.

Tim - The bag will have motorcraft on it. I buy all mine from AZ.
