Well admittedly I haven't touched my Volvo in almost a year! Yikes! I even considered selling it not running! No excuses but at least now I'm back at it.

To recap, I stripped the pump down to its shell, rebuilt with new seals, bled the air out with a vacuum pump from the return line, double checked the shut-off clicks when given 12v, cranked for a little bit and nothing comes out the injector lines. Once that didn't work I cracked the top to check the throttle linkage as per v8volvo's advice assembled. Still nothing.

I guess my question is shouldn't it start squirting diesel within the first 15-30 seconds of cranking or do I need to risk burning the starter motor out to get it to start working? Or is improper assemblage the only explanation? Damn that thing is a beast to get out of the engine bay!!
