Smile Good Compression My Baby 420SEL Isn't Starting

I'm at fuel now. So far I don't have any pumping out of the line to the throttle sensor so after church tomorrow I will do the back undercarraige check. I'm looking at the crank position sensor. I think the timing chain is good, but I don't know what to do to test the timing if it doesn't start. I pulled off the exhaust assembly to rebuild it from the exhaust manifold to the muffler and it's about ready to put back in but still no start. I'm sure you have heard this before. I want my baby working. Some help is appreciated. I have good experience with wrenching on different vehicles.

Found the computer under the dash on the passenger side. I went over all of the electrical components with die electric grease to stave off oxidation both under the hood and dash. I found the crankshaft position sensor and took off the head bolt holding it and it won't budge with gentle prying and I thought it was held in place by a single bolt. Any thoughts appreciated.
