You will need to find a local injection pump shop that handles Stanadyne pumps.

There are two solenoid under the injection pump cover, one is the fuel shut-off (larger one) and one is the timing advance (smaller one)

Be careful if you are going to do the replacement yourself. If you don't do the job right you could trigger a run-away where the truck can not be shut down. Not a pretty sight watching your engine blow itself to pieces and there is next to nothing you can do (other than maybe cut the main fuel line)

It might be best to let the injection shop handle the job.

What most likely happened to your old solenoid is that somebody left the key on without the truck running. The fuel shut-off solenoid need fuel flow across it for cooling. If the key is left on without the engine running for too long the solenoids overheats, cracks and burns out.

I recently tried to get the Injection pump in my 91 F350 rebuilt and one of the many reasons why I opted for a replacement pump was that my fuel shutoff solenoid was cracked and needed replacing as it probably would not have lasted much longer.
