OK, a little update on this thread.

New (correct) glow plugs installed.

Boost was increased from 8 psi to 13 psi.

New Monark injectors installed (Greazzer rebuilt a set for me - awesome work there).

Smoking is largely fixed, but I still have visible smoke under full throttle, so I've got to lean out the ALDA a bit more.

There still is nailing from at least one cylinder, so I'm going to drive it a bit and maybe run some injector cleaner through a fuel tank to two. Cold starts are better but not what they used to be - there is a consistent miss from one cylinder when cold.

If I have no improvement after a few weeks, I'll probably see if I can narrow the miss down to one cylinder, and then try replacing that delivery valve with a good used valve from the original IP.
