As usual, super helpful information- thanks!
I will try your method of setting the IP timing. I did not rotate the engine at all with the pump belt off, but I did turn the pump many times because I was confused about where the notches were and stuff like that.
I did have the plug removed from the injection pump for days, maybe even a week or more, while I was waiting on some parts. So I'll loosen the 17mm nuts as you mentioned - maybe it lost its prime.
As for the mark on the flywheel, I was indeed using the "0-" I can't believe I saw it but somehow I did.
Thanks for the help and encouragement, I'm sure I've asked some ridiculous questions as I'm totally new to diesel (and hooked). I'll be sure to post back as soon as I figure out what's going on. I'm actually not all that discouraged- at this point, I'm thinking I just messed up some adjustment and it'll work out.
