[C320-list] Ignition replacement on old 320

[Kirk McCullough]

Nick my older 320 has glow plugs, its the Perkins M30. I suppose when u say 
ingnition switch you mean the key. My key has off, on and start. In the 
start position the glow plugs are on. I hold it there for 15 seconds then 
press the ingnition button to start the engine. The key switch should be a 
standard part. The push buttons are available from many different sources.
