1984 6.9L IDI glow plug questions

I need to replace the glow plugs on my 84 6.9L IDI and was wondering what brands I should look for or if these: http://www.accuratediesel.com/shop/1.html are good for my truck or just junk glow plugs

Motorcraft/ beru. Most o th er brands are known to problems. Rock auto should have them at a good price.

i would steer clear of them. as said, rock auto has the proper ZD-1 glow plugs for your truck for $9.43 each
diesel filters.com has them for $8.55 each
[ZD1A] - Ford 6.9 Liter Diesel Motorcraft Glow Plug(E5TZ-12A342-B)

Google "rock auto discount code". Copy and paste the code where it says "where did you hear about us" during checkout. Good for 5%.

These are Wellman/DieselRX glow plugs.
Some people have had issues; I've used them myself without issue.

If the price is close, you probably want to go with the Motorcraft ones, though, as they are considered the "best".
