The 60G plugs are much better....A 10 second or so on time will usually lite the fire..
The original system "Pulsed" the plugs after startup to help keep the engine running smooth and minimize smoke until the cylinders have warmed up a bit...
If after startup on a cold morning you can press your button on/off for a couple seconds each time if the engine starts to run rough.....Most times things will be fine and the initial glow will suffice to get things going.......
I agree with Maverick on the relay setup.......I have done a few of these over the years....The Ford relay works well.
