Grant,

When I had my 81 5K diesel (oh how wish I could buy that car new today...). I
had to change a leaking fuel injector line.  After changing the line I cranked
on the car to no avail. The cAR wouldn't fire. As I recall, to fix I slightly
loosened every fuel line at the injector (loosened all 5 of them
simultaniously) and cranked the car over till an adequate amount of fuel came
out.  I then re-torqued the fuel lines and started the car.   Hope this
information helps and Good Luck!

Regards

Mark
