the update
I primed the system until the fuel ran clear out the return line. We
turned it on and let it glow for a while, and then turned the key with the
throttle to the floor. It turned over like I think it should, and you
could hear it fire every few revs or so, but it never took. Kept the
starter turning until the battery had nothing left. Dang, what should I
look at now? I'm thinking pull the valve cover off, set the valves and
check timing chain stretch/condition. If that is all good, then a
compression check is in order. Any other suggestions?

I did put the 27mm socket on the crank pully, and it feels normal. The
coolant shows no sign of contamination and the oil level is right between
the add and max lines. What suggestions do ya'll have to do a wake-up??
