Help with IP problems. No fuel out of return port of IP wvo 7.3 Idi

Stuck with no fuel reaching injectors.

Thing I have tried:
  • bleeding air from fuel filter bleed port
  • hand pumping fuel directly to IP intake
  • cracking injectors
  • testing fss, as well as removing IP top to check fss function, bowl is full of fuel
  • cranking engine for many days, with fuel soaked rag in air intake
  • Inspected IP cam rotation
  • pressurized system from the shraerder valve on the fuel filter
  • Notice there is no fuel coming out of return port on IP while cranking.

Not sure where to turn next.
