Glow Plug Timing

My 82 C30 has a 5411 that starts very reliably with 30 seconds of glow plug operation, longer if on a cold morning, shorter if the engine is warm. I really hate sticking my head in the cockpit to "push" the button, not only is it uncomfortable but I really can't see where I am going if I am starting the engine while under sail. Does any one know of a diesel start timing box that would sense the engine temp and beep at me when the glow plug time was compete? This way I could press the glow plug button once and then wait for the beep, then start the engine. Randy Chitwood Lake Tahoe

This isn't exactly what your looking for but its the next best thing. I did this conversion this year and it really helps. You only have to hold the button for 10 sec. Try the link below......
