Does this sound like my IDI is missing?

Glow Plugs Brand Rec
Good morning all, I'm doing a fuel system tune-up on my '91 Ford F-250 7.3L IDI--replacing injectors, return lines, glow plugs, and (perhaps) fuel lines. Any recommendations on brand for glow plugs? I have heard that some tend to swell, making them hard to remove. My current plan is just to...- Neal Evans
