Default K&B engine...confused

A friend of mine who has never flown b4 was give a plane and has been until recently sitting up on his wall. I got interested in it and we have been working on it for the last few weekends. I am not familiar with K&B engines and it has one in it. The plane is a war bird. I dont know what size the engine is or how old. It has this funny lookin thing on top of the glow plug. I dont know if the glowplug is immovable or not. but the funny lookin thing on the glowplug has 2 wires commin from it one is attatched to the funny thing itself and one is fastened under a piece of metal. the wires both go to a round housing. On the ouside of the plane the housing looks like it has a hole to stick something in. Like i said i dont know how old the plane or anything in it is. Ive figgered that the funny thing may be a built in igniter, but i have no idea if or how it works. I wonder if it even comes off. My explanation may sound confusing so ill have pics tom. i just need help identafying what the thing is and such. Thanx
