Okay so last weekend I made a 7 hour drive to go pick up a 1989 f250 7.3 idi. Its said to have 190k miles on the motor and tranny but less than 10k on "rebuilds". The only thing it needs is the injector pump.. I'm also going to replace the glow plugs.. anyone have any suggestions? Banks turbo, electric fuel pump, blocks that make it a 9" lift, 37's... also anything I should look at while its torn apart.

Welcome to the Diesel Stop.

DO NOT use Autolite glow plugs. Are you asking about installing an electric lift pump? If so, there isn't any reason to. The factory ones are extremely reliable. If it has one on it, and it isn't regulated, that can cause injector pump issues.
