IH 454 glowplug

I am in the process of rewiring my 454
when I bought it almost all the wires had been burnt off it
I have almost everything run but cant figure out how the glowplug hooks up
I think it's the glowpulg anyway it is in the intake manifold with a single wire
I have seen some that use the switch and some that use a button to activate them
can anyone tell me how it was originally done

Thanks
 
Sounds like you got an intake manifold air-heater - not a glow plug. They can draw fairly high amps and are best hooked to a relay instead of a regular switch unless it's real heavy duty. My Case, Allis Chalmers, Ford, and few other machines have them. There are "dry" and "wet" models. Dry just makes heat and has no fuel lines hooked to it. Wet uses heat and fuel to act like a little flame-thrower inside the intake manifold.
 
LJD,Sir could you give me model of tractors with these heaters so i can look them over?? Also interested in the [wet] heater? Thinking Old Stinky [460D] might bennfit? Bud.
 
Hi my brother has a 495 with the same heater in the
intake manifold. IRC it is activated by turning and
holding the start key half way between on and start
position. I looked it up in caseih.com parts and it
is called a thermostart attachment.

They sell them on this website. The ones that use a fuel hookup that come to mind are on SAME and Ford tractors. Here's one. To use a "wet" heater, you need to do some plumbing. Usually a small fuel reservoir is mounted somewhere above the heater so the fuel can run to it with gravity. Then that little tank has to be plumbed into diesel fuel return circuit so it stays full.
