Perkins cold start

Ernie,

How long are you glowing? Usually glow plugs from this era are the
slow heating type that are almost impossible to burn out from
overheating.
I'd glow it for a minute and see what happens. If you only do it
for 10 seconds or so, they're just getting started. On my IH Scout
diesel, the book shows glowing for over a minute depending on
outside temps.
