Starting issues 87 300TDT- injection pump or anti-theft??

Well I just bought my non-running wagon and posted it here yesterday after reading the summary of Kanoa IP throttle rack jammed

I followed many of the threads and ideas for not starting and this is where I am at. Since I don't have much history on the car I am starting from scratch.

First, went I connected the battery and I about split my head open on the hood when the alarm went off. Didn't even know it had a factory alarm! Since I couldn't get it to shut off with key in driver door and ignition, I unscrewed the horn. (lights still flashing). Finally got it off with the pass door.

Anyway, this is where I'm at:
1) Disconnected return line to tank and getting fuel to come out (lift pump okay and getting through IP)

2) cracked open the hard lines at injectors and cranked (fuel coming out)

3) Still don't know if I have enough pressure to inject right, so I tackle the return line bango bolt (with spring inside). Since mine is the non-serviceable one. I took the one off my extra "good" IP pump I bought, and swapped them out (they both shouldn't be bad, right?). That was a PITA to swap out since I did not remove the intake! I did remove three of the hard line so I could fit my fingers in there to guide a socket wrench

4) A bit of diesel came out of the IP so I cracked injector lines again to let out any air and cranked it over. tightened it up.

Still won't start! Just cranks over and over.

Now I'm thinking it is not the IP or fuel, as I'm getting fuel to the injectors.

I'm thinking that it may be electrical (sensors?), or the alarm might have something to do with it. I saw the thread on how to disconnect the alarm. Do you think that might be something??

I thought that darn return bolt would have done it, but not so much
