Unhappy old parked car won't start

1984 300TD...

I lossened the fittings on each fuel injector and cranked the starter. Fuel seeped out of each fitting.

I loosened the big nut on the filter and primed it and plenty of fuel came out.

Glow plug light comes on and goes out after about 5 seconds.

Turns over real strong, and oil pressure is solid.

I get no sputtering, ignition, firing or any kinda noise that might indicate it's trying to start.

Never had a diesel so I'm sure I've over looked something obvious...
