interesting starting problem

hi all,

it's been a long while since i've posted because sweet pea's (82 300D turbo) been running very well. just the other day i drove it home from work, ran fine, and parked, then the next morning i went to turn the key and it just cranked and cranked. glow plug light fired up as usual and relay switch i could hear clicking on and off. even tried glowing three times before start

in lieu of sending to the mechanic, i've since replaced all 5 glow plugs. after installing the third and fourth plug i would attempt to start, to no avail. all consecutive plugs removed had lots of diesel on them which indicates it's getting fuel (and you could smell it).

the fuse in the relay box is good. i don't have a multimeter. the compression seemed to be ok; although, there's been a lot of blowby recently. and, i live in newport beach so the weather's about 50 degrees at its coldest.

anyone have any ideas before i call the tow company? electrical, fuel, or think she's dead? i've done a few searches and i'm at an impass.

thanks for the help in advance,

ben
