[AT] Old Spark plug / Glow Plug help needed

[Rupert]

Hello Guys,
	I'm curious about the glow plugs as I've never had a reason to pull 
one. The mounting seems to be a pipe thread type fitting on the ones 
I've looked at. Is this so? If so, I would suspect other makes and 
models would use a similar glow plug. Am I right?
