Nelson Glow Plugs
From: Walt Ghio
I will have Nelson glow plugs for sale at the San Valeer’s contest this coming weekend at Lost Hills. Due to an increase in the helical filament wire that is used in the Nelson glow plug the cost for each glow plug is now $8 each. Also, I will have fuel tubing and bladder material along with Nelson / TD heads . All items are from Doug Galbreath who has asked me to be his salesperson.
