Reporting in with results. Disconnected wires to isolate individual glow plugs, and disconnected wire to starter switch from #4 glow plug. Tried measuring resistance to ground with digital VOM but got wildly fluctuating readings that settled around 2 ohms on all four glow plugs. Digital VOM's...

Thanks, Wolfman. It's worse - retired physics teacher and programmer, with some background in EE. That's why this stuff drives me nuts. It otta' be easier! Just wanted to be thorough. Hot wire from battery to each glow plug is an excellent test that had not occurred to me (since I got an...

Both "rod and tube" and "bubble level" types are useful depending on the job. There's a fundamental difference. "Bubble level" types put the bucket at "geographic level" and not parallel to the ground as William1 pointed out for work on non-level surfaces like hills. "Rod and tube" types...
