Still no start on '82 career project car. Help please!!! 200

Okay, heres the deal. For those of you who aren't familiar with my plight I'll bring you up to date. I have an '82 D24 diesel to B23 gas engine conversion

that I've been working on for longer than I can remember. My issue is that I cannot get it to start. I did, however, had it running last fall although it

ran rough. I have let it sit inside my heated garage over the winter and recently started to work on it again since the weathers' warming up. I

appreciate all of the help that everyones' contributed especially Goatman and Jorrel. So heres what I've done thus far (this week) in an attempt to remedy

this situation. I pulled all of the spark plugs and checked spark to every one and that's good. I then reinstalled the timing belt to verify that and it's

good also. Then I checked to ensure that the distributor rotor was pointing at the #1 cylinders sparkplug wire when the #1 cylinder was at top dead center and

that checks good as well. As far as the fuel system goes It has a new Bosch main fuel pump and fuel filter as well as the fuel pressure regulator. I just

ordered the IPD high volume in-tank transfer pump kit as that's the original from the donor car and I have no idea of it's age so I'll be replacing that as

well. I did read Jorrels' post to my previous thread about the fuel and it smells like regular gasoline to me. But I was wondering what the best way is to

clean the injectors to ensure that they're clear? Other than that I don't know what else to do to get this car to run. Please let me know what yo all think.

I'm open to ideas. Thanks, Charles
