1988 560 SL: Start After A Long Nap

Bought the above car out of an estate, 38,000 miles which various indicators say is likely correct. I know the car has sat inside a garage for years; not certain how many. It did not have bad gas in the tank when I drained it. New fuel pumps and filter, new engine oil and filter, new transmission fluid and filter; new coolant; new belts, hoses, thermostat, spark plugs, power steering filter and fluid. I replaced the four brake hoses; replaced the rear muffler and all the exhaust hangers; new battery. Now when the key is turned on, the fuel pumps come on, but with very active (normal) cranking, no running. I suspect there is no spark. I admit I gave it a shot of fuel in the fuel injection intake, no reaction. I have examined the ignition rotor and cleaned the terminals. Please advise. I have some other maintenance items planned, but it is much easier if the car will move under its own power of course.
