Heya, new to this forum so forgive me for any forbidden sins I may commit.
I recently nabbed a 1985 f-250 6.9L 4speed 4wd from a work buddy and I have some issues i’ve been working through.
(I am in no way a diesel mech. but i’ve had my fair share of blinker fluid fill-ups)
Here’s what i’d like some help with…
1. The clutch is “stuck” to the floor when pressed, but not “bad”
Explanation: So i’m fairly certain the clutch is sticky (as in the bracket that connects to the petal is rusted/stuck.) Any info on how this could be cleared or wd40’ed would be appreciated.

2. No-start
Explanation: Pretty sure it’s a fuel issue… Currently bleeding the valve and replacing the injectors (They’re factory, and I got a decent deal on some new ones, so why not)
3. Leaking block heater.
Explanation: After some cranking of the engine while bleeding the air out the fuel lines, a **** puddle of coolant has magically appeared on the ground… After closer inspection the block heater just above the starter motor is dripping, so I’d either replace it or cap it off… I’m in Oregon so it’s not too terribly cold…
Other than that… solid rig…
Thank you for your wisdom!

EDIT: Push button glow plugs, probably works…
