1994.5 - 1997 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums You would probably be better posting your questions on this page. Guys there know a lot more about the PS diesel.
You will get the answers to most of your questions just by reading through the threads.
For glowplugs I would probably have to say Motorcraft and the vacuum pump from a good supplier like rockauto.com or 1ATony, both from the list of sponsors.
