Hey all, New to the forum. Tried searching around a little bit didn't find much. I just purchased a 1985 econoline with the 6.9. It ran very well up until it started getting cold. I messed around and found a bad glow plug relay, replaced it and it fired right up. After it got a little colder didn't want to start again. Looked around a little more and found some bad glow plugs. In the process must have bumped one of the return lines and started to leak. I ordered New glow plugs (made sure to get motorcraft) as well as return line kit. Got everything and was going to get started installing. I took the air cleaner off and stopped. Just looking at the space to work in scared me away. I'm by no means a mechanic and don't have a lot of experience. Just hoping to get some advice from anyone who's worked on these if its as bad as it looks. Wondering if its something I want to tear into, or take to a local mechanic. Thanks in advance!
