Paul Smith:
The glow head in your picture looks like a standard low compressionn head.  Not circle of stars on top and no trumpet shape inside.  Will you be offering a replacement for the higher performance TeeDee's and Black Widows?

Bernie Eisele:

They are 100% identical to the OEM Cox Tee Dee High-Compression glow heads except for the knurl (circle of stars) at the top.

We did not bother with the knurl as it would have cost another 50 cents and serves no purpose other than cosmetics to quickly differentiate it from the regular glow head. And, yes, the combustion chamber is trumpet shaped and identical to the ones Cox used to make.

If you want the OEM packages ones, we still have a few in stock as well. See here:

Paul Smith:
Thanks.  I don't really care about the decoration, on the combustion chamber.  Without a source of plugs, all the TeeDees and Black Widows will go by the wayside.  I've tried some of the adapter units, but always with a crippling loss of performance.

I have just purchased some of your 049 glow plugs to go along with my attempt to bring back to life engines that I had back in the 50s. I'm using new Cox gas, battery, etc and disassembled, cleaned, and then reassembled the engines (Golden Bees).

I'm not having much luck in starting them. My question is this. My memory is that the glow plug coil would turn reddish orange when tested...this was one way we would check for burned out plugs. I'm not seeing this at all with your new ones.

Also, I can't even get the engines to 'pop', let alone start. I can hear the glow plug 'sizzle' as I remember from back in the day. I'm priming as usual and making sure that I didn't flood the engine...to no avail.

Are these plugs supposed to glow red as I recall?

Any tips would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
