Question Won't Start, Started Once, Ran fine; No air bubbles & Glow Plugs Glowing

This car has not ran for 2 years. What I've done to it: new clear fuel lines, new seals and copper crush washers on injection pump. When Turning over I don't see any air bubbles and I have hooked up an external glow plug to the harness so I can observe the glow plugs working. Is there anything that I could be missing before I check the compression? This car ran perfectly fine for two years that I owned it until it developed a leak from the Delivery Valve O-rings, which I have fixed, but am not able to start the car, still. I did remove the k-30 fuse and had it resoldered. I read somewhere that there is a problem with the relay data cable occasionally, I have wiggled that cable to no effect. This car did start 5 days ago, ran great. I turned it off after 5 minutes because at the time there was no antifreeze (which I have now added). I've been cranking on it all weekend to no effect, after new clear fuel lines, and I just put new o rings and copper crush washers on tonight and cranked again, nothing. I don't see any bubbles, I'm sure the glow plugs are glowing (even though the dash glow plug light doesn't come on). I'm at a loss. Hopefully someone knows something that I haven't come across yet All I need is fuel, good compression and heat to start, right???
