Good advice!!
You may have a case of "Death in a jug"
Interesting that it cranks strong, maybe low compression from stuck rings caused by WVO use?
Why was the car sitting for a year?
The idea of pull starting has merit if you can. Best done at about 40 mph. Get up to speed in neutral & then put into D. The trans will turn the motor much faster than a starter. Once started it probably wont idle properly for a while.
Good Luck !!!!

Interesting, I'll give it a shot! There isn't any repercussions to the transmission or torque converter by pull starting is there?
Yeah, according to the owner (who I don't really suspect would lie to me) it ran when parked, sat till I bought it because he decided he did not want to work on it anymore.
It came with a spare injection pump, but I'm hoping its not the issue.
Either way, I got the whole thing for $500
And I do trust you on the TD thing, It is just new to me to use it like that, but there is a first time for everything!
How can I go about running the glow plugs manually to see if that is truly the issue? I ohm'ed them out to the engine body, good conductivity...
