Since it sounds like you have good glow and air intake, you are down to fuel delivery and compression to get it to light off.
Yeah, and those are both questionable because those are both the unknowns. I don't like the fuel pressure the IP is delivering, I doubt if the IP was running like that on my TDI or 1.6l IDI that it would have the strength to pop the injectors.

At the same time, I don't know how good the compression is.

I really hope you get it to start so you can give it a run before you decide what to do.
Trying to start during the warmest part of the day helps as well.

Good Luck !!!
It was 89-92 this whole weekend, pretty damned warm.

Is there any way to tell if the boost pump on the side of the IP is going bad?
