You put something under the 17mm plug to catch the about 1/2 cup of oil that is going to come out when you remove the Plug.
With the plug off look inside and see if the blade type tab is centered in the hole. Try not to view it on an angle if you can.
If it is not lined up your fuel injection pump timing is off.

Thank you 911 for your thoughtful informative reply. Yes it is OEM chain. The old chain was in the new box. Cam timing is perfect @ TDC. Even if the timing is off shouldn't you be able to get fuel out of the injectors? No fuel comes out at all. I tried starting it while pumping the primer pump with no luck. Previous owner was a marginal mechanic. EG the adjusting nuts for the valves were chewed up probably from needle nose vise grips. I had to hammer my offset wrenches on a few of them! I will go hunting for the 17mm plug. On the engine side or the fender side? Thanks in advance. Looks like pump timing check is in my future.
