I'm sorry to disagree with the other forum suggestion, but I personally think that Oilburners.net has the best knowledge base to learn from. Hundreds of tech articles and many active members that know their stuff. Give it a look.
As for the engine, it will likely need a fuel system refresh with the amount of miles it has. I recommend doing the injection pump and injectors at the same time. With that also comes the return line system, with these things done, it will become a new animal. This cost will range around 1k-1250 bucks if you do it yourself. A little over 600 for the pump, minimum, for a quality rebuild, and about 450 for injectors. It is a pretty simple job, just do your research if you intend to do it yourself.
It's fairly accepted that an injection pump has a typical life of about 100k miles, though some are known to run longer.
Also, go find yourself stanadyne fuel additive. Either lubricity or performance is fine, but pick one and run it in EVERY tank. These guys are the makers of the pump, and this additive is designed to keep it lubricated and happy.
here is what I use. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000M5QPSY?cache=3d44ea401507193c0b19f1da6f909236&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1413839175&sr=8-3#ref=mp_s_a_1_3
Which reminds me, I need to get some more ordered. You can also find the smaller bottles at many parts and farm stores, but the bulk jug is a much better deal.
