'80 300TD no start - What the ?

My 300TD has decided to go into hibernation mode, it appears.

The car was running GREAT and had no starting issues. Now it won't start for nothing....
Here is what I've checked already:
Glow plugs - working fine
Fuel filters - good
Injectors - very recently rebuilt
Fuel Bleeder - bleed
Shut Off Valve - disconnected

I've cracked the lines at the injectors and the delivery valves and fuel seems to seep out when cranking (as opposed to high pressure). Is there somewhere on/in the injector pump I should check (blockage?) ? Did my pump just suddenly die? This has me baffled....

Thanks in advance,
Klaus
