    Question about the ignition on a Series III

    1976, Series III, 2.25 diesel, I want to make sure I'm doing this right: - You turn the ignition to let the glow plugs do their thing (how long is a question of getting a feel for it) - You then turn it further to start the engine - When finished you pull the engine kill knob to stop the engine...
