No start help
Finally got the cam and head studs in. Now the truck has been very hard to get started again. I had her fire once then ran out of fuel to keep her going. Now she spins over fine ( new starter) but will not fire. There is good fuel to 6 injrctors at least. 2 ooze fuel not squirt. Timing marks r all set up right pump was way advanced before and now has been installed on the factory mark
Any help would be nice i have hit a wall except just keep trying

First, follow these instructions for bleeding things:
You probably have to do this again now that there is air in everything. Just re-bleed everything, leave the lines loose and crank it a bit. Let some fuel come out.
If that doesn't work, I'm gonna say to let the glow plugs cool off(leave the key on for a couple minutes), and then use a little starting fluid.
Works wonders in cases like this.

ill try bleeding again. I don't have glow plugs and been using either but I don't even get any smoke. Found out the fss was bad switched it with another spare pump I had laying around but dat was not it. But could be part of the problem

If your not getting any smoke then your not getting any fuel, when my truck is not getting fuel it WILL NOT start on ether, need some diesel in there in my case.
