Around freezing you should be seeing something like 30 seconds
of glow. If you don't, just wait that long anyway before starting.
It ought to start a lot better. (You don't need a functioning light
to get a good start, if you know how long you're supposed to wait.)
Later glow plugs designed for afterstart glow function reach maximum
temp (1180 deg C) after only 10-15 sec while the plugs used thru most of
the '80s took 30 sec to get that hot and series plugs took a minute or
so to get that hot.
