1974 Mercedes 240 D Garage find - $2000 (COON VALLEY)

1974 Mercedes-benz 240d

fuel: diesel
title status: clean
transmission: automatic
type: sedan
Here is a 1974 Mercedes that has been kept inside a garage for the last 20 years . Came from orig owner.I replaced all filters ,cleaned out fuel tank and strainer . New injection pump . New lift pump,changed oil . I am getting fuel up to injectors but cant get it to start. I dont have an injector tester or a compression tester to see any further. I am not a diesel guy and dont have any tools or knowledge of what to do next. I bet there is someone that knows how to work on diesels that can make it go. It has 108k orig miles tires are good shape with no weather cracks . Interior is mint condition and picts dont show it. Exterior paint has fade but i tested a small area with color back and it looks like it will clean up great. Title is clear . I am needing the space so i am gonna let her go for 2000 . If no one wants it local i will probably put it on ebay . Let me know if want to see it . Located in coon valley Thanks

My guess would be IP not installed correctly. Off timing, or off by 180.
Glow plug problem.
Marginal battery turning starter too slowly.
