Default Cold Starting 71 220D

I have not been able to start this car for 24 hours now. It only got up to 8 degrees F today.

I tried jumping it. The battery is new, alt is going bad.

I glow plugged for several minutes but the glow plug light never went off.

Also tried a bottle of sea foam in the fuel tank.

The engine cranks. The hand pump works and there is fuel out of the bleeder screw? (on the fule filter)

If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
