Help needed

After second chance I got my glow plugs. Is there a difference between 86 e350 glow plugs and F350 86 glow plugs. I looked up the number of mine and it said 86 ford f350 6.9. I have a van and the number is different.
It has the flat top, just don't want to use the wrong one. I have the controller and relay, do the 86 F350's also have that. Mine is the round controller. thanks,
Chet

As long as it has the spade connectors you are golden. ZD1-A is what you want ZD9 plugs have the bullet connector. There is no difference between 250/350/e series plugs.

First, did you read through this yet: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...old-style.html

86 down should all be the old cotroller that screws into the head using the blade style connector on the glowplugs and 87-up uses the solid state controller with bullet connectors on the glow plugs.

Thanks guys. I got these with my IP. They shorted me first then sent them out. Its funny because they show different ones for 86 F350 then they do for the 86 E350. It dose have the right connector on it, so I guess I'll use it. Oh they are DRX or wellman, I couldn't get the motorcraft ones at the time and didn't see the site on here where to get them till they where ordered. They are suppost to be military grade and made in the USA. Thanks,
Chet

If I were you, I'd send them back and get Motorcraft/Beru plugs.

Thanks for the input Tom. I knew that, I just couldn't find them local at the time.

rock auto has them for $9.10 each.

if you need the truck, run the wellmans till the beru's come in, then change them and either keep the wellmans for spares in case something happens to the controller and messes up the berus, or sell them.
