Glow plugs on a '91

A friend of mine asked me if I could do a set of glow plugs in his '91 7.3 diesel. I've never seen under the hood of an older diesel. How hard/easy is it to do glow plugs on this truck?

You need to fully familiarize yourself with the pros and cons before attempting a GP replacement.......... visit.... http://www.members.shaw.ca/k2pilot/ and read all about what can happen. Have you tested them yet.........

Use a test light, put the clip on the battery positive post, remove the GP connector wire on each GP.......touch the bullet top only with the light's pointed end......if it lights your good......... if not it's bad........
