Help!!! 1987 300TD Wagon Won't Start

New here guys, so please be easy.
After 6 months of looking I purchased a 1987 300TD Wagon. I purchased it last week running great. The shutoff valve wasn't working properly (tested with a mightyvac tester) and it would not hold vaccum. I took the manifold off, only replaced the shutoff valve. (I tested with my mightyvac to ensure I installed properly to avoid "wide open" throttle scenario with improper seating) I put everything back together, and not it will not start. I thought it had something to do with not installing the ALDA properly, but i took it off this morning without removing the manifold, and it still will not start. Last night when I was trying to start it, it was smoking unburned fuel out of the exhaust. This morning it doesn't seem to be doing that, but I may just not be noticing it as much. Also, I cracked one of the injectors and fuel is coming out, but it surely doesn't seem very pressurized. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
