The Wellman 070 are for the original 24volts down through the resistors. I use the O70's even after doing a bypass so that only 12volts are going to the 070's. It's Recommended that I use the Wellman 050's now that I have done the Resistors bypass and have true 12 volts going to my Glow Plugs. Don't be to quick to Sheet on the Wellman's because they are an outstanding plug and are much cheaper to buy on line than going to your parts store and paying 12.00 each for the ac 60 G plugs. Honestly keep in mind that once a Resistors bypass is done any plug will work Wellman 070 050 Ac 13 G Ac 60 G depends on what you want to pay there is NO difference in Performance!

It's a bit difficult for my old eyes to read the numbers but I can see the last digits--- 70. As you can see the five gp's on the bottom of pic are swollen; that's 5-out-of 8. Lousy performance if you ask me.

Anyway, the reason I post this is because on the DieselPage site they recommend nothing but AC-60G's or another brand by Kennedy Diesel. I'm afraid that the old Wellman's' won't ever be put in my rigs again.

Meanwhile, I've replaced these Wellman's' w/AC60G's and after 5 secs of gp-time, this engine now fires-off as soon as I touch the ignition key--- LESS THAN 2 seconds!
