diesel won't start 1978 300cd

I'm a diesel novice, but have had lots of old gasoline fueled cars, from 1930's - 1960's. Have had my 300cd for about a year and driven about 7,000 miles. Adjusted 300cd's valves last week (all were a little tight, but ok and was last done about 9,000 miles ago according to records). Replaced glow plugs last year. Had in-tank fuel screen cleaned last year. Now about 1/2 way through a tank of fuel that's about a week old. Started this winter even at 20 degree temp all day. Car now in heated garage. Has been starting and running ok. Driven several times previous day without a glitch.

79 300D W123- Neutral safety switch

I've replaced the glow plugs, strap fuse, glow plug relay and the ignition switch on my 79 300D. Intermittently, she doesn't start in PARK ( glow plug indicator light goes on , but doesn't start when the key is turned)-- If I shift to NEUTRAL, she starts fine. I pay attention to the warnings this" Panzerwagen" gives me , so I'm thinking that there's some glitch in the neutral safety switch.
Am I on the right track? Please excuse potentially incorrect terminology- I'm no expert, which id why I subscribe to this helpful forum.
Thanks in advance for your help.
