Question 79 300D won't start after storage....help!

I just bought a 79 300D with 116,000 miles on it from an older gentleman. The car had been sitting for about 6mo and so I towed it home thinking it needed a battery charge or at the most new glow plugs.

Well here is what I have done....

replaced glow plugs
replaced glow plug relay
charged battery to 100%
primed fuel pump (cracked injectors til fuel came out)
bypassed the fuel filters by running fuel line into fresh diesel in a gatorade bottle


...Still nothing

I am only getting a reading of 8 voltz at the glow plug fuse, the car cranks well but just won't fire. I am out of ideas....any thoughts?http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/images/new_smilies/dizzy2.gif
