How to hotwire the glow-plugs

I have a 86 with a 6.2 diesel (ya, I know) and it will start fine when mostly cool if the glowplugs come on. If I run it and get it warm enough for the glowplugs to decide they don't want to come on, the pot-licker won't start short of a 30 second grind contest on the starter motor. Is there a way to put a button on the glowplugs? OK it will have to be a high capacity button, but that's OK.

Thanks in advance
