Possibly starved for fuel

I posted yesterday about 1990 350sdl not wanting to start. It turns over and everything but just does not want to kick in. I replaced the glow plugs today they test good. I was thinking maybe a clogged fuel filter or something else. Has anybody else had a problem similar to this. Please help

Changing the fuel filters is pretty easy. Fill the big filter with purge, or diesel, or ATF or something before reinstalling it.
You should be able to test your fuel flow by disconnecting the return hose and sticking it in a bottle to see how much fuel it spews out.

There are other issues with the 3.5 diesel which, if you don't already know about them, you probably don't want to learn. I don't know how much those problems effect starting.
