Did you check them for actually working ?

Seems you have fuel..

but it has to be injected at the right time...
so you need to set your ip by the correct method....

I would get it back to at least idling before checking IP timing if it was idling before. It sounds like you have a fuel issue or GP issue. Let us know a little more about the vehicle, have you driven it for a while, may be fuel filters, let us know more.

Any other suggestions?

LOL... yes, go do some of those suggestions... they are very good ones....
report back as soon as you can...
do one thing at a time...
and try to start it...
so you will know what it was that corrected the situation...

Only for you to answer some questions so you can get some help.
1 was it a regular daily driver and stopped.
2 power to the GPs. Then go from there.

I would be happy if it idled. The car sat for a few years after it died and wouldn't start back. Every once in a while(6 months) I would spend 2 hours jumping and cranking and it would start. Then next day back to not starting. Fuel filters were put on a couple years ago but the car has only had maybe 20 miles put on it since due to the starting issues

Glow plugs have power
Daily driver until the day it died

You have done all the regular things....
so it should be turning over just fine...

be sure you have fuel all the way to injector..
set the IP according to drip method...

Yes 100 on compression test
Below is the gauge I used

OK now were getting somewhere. Are you sure you have fuel in the tank, the tank level indicators can be erratic along with algae in the tank of vehicles that have sat for years. Is your clear filter in the fuel line still clear?

If that is accurate on the compression test....
you need to reset your valves making sure you do it correctly....
you are needing like ' 300'
for it to run..
did you check all the cylinders ?

Leathermang I have fuel at the injector/ injector line

No idea what that is but you are not going anywhere with 100psi.

Good.. then some of the other things can be dealt with later...
you need to check the valves... that compression is way too low..
and you need to make sure that fuel is being put into the cylinder at the correct time.. drip is the method to make sure of that..

Yes clear filter, but why would it just die and not want to start back?
