Have you cracked the injector nuts and getting fuel out of there?
Got everything back together but not trying to get it started... no luck I have fuel up to the pump by a Mr. Gasket lift pump. I have 10.5 volts at the fuel cut off and can hear it click. I just don't have fuel at the lines yet. Idk what else to try.. ive been trying for 2 hours.

But wouldn't my lift pump take place of the mightyvac? Instead of pulling a vacuum its just putting pressure on the pump. Ill try the mightyvac tomorrow.

Did you remove the distributor head off the IP or just enough to expose the o-ring. If just enough to expose the o-ring, nothing internal should have been disturbed.
Did you pop your top off when you resealed the head to make sure you lined the tabs all up, and then turn it over with the pulley attached to make sure the tabs were lined up correctly? You can assemble things in wierd ways that can cause things to break at that last moment while tightning down that head. With the top off it makes it easy to make sure things are lined up and you can hold things in place with your other hand, etc.With that being said when I had my pump off I dumped as much fuel as I could in before putting the top on, but also found that even after using the vacuum trick I easily would have drained down my battery without a charger hooked up the whole time. Pedal down the whole time and doing cranks without the glowplugs for 15 seconds at a time, and allowing it to cool down a few minutes inbetween. You want that healthy starter to spin over fast.It still took me a couple hours to reprime my pump last time. It was very slow going until I got some slight seepage at a couple injectors and nothing was coming out of the last 2. I kept alternating with one line cracked, then not, then cracking another and was still finding some air escaping when I recracked a line. It was annoying but I kept at it and alternated around until finally that last one started seeping. Car still ran like crap in the beginning and chugged and the cold start lever helped for whatever reason. Finally was able to help it to life with some extra idle, let it sit a bit and took it for a good fast drive and all has been well now for weeks

When I replaced both o-rings on the advance piston covers and also replaced the main seal and timed the IP, it took less than a minute to get it primed and started. I didn't even use a Mityvac. All I did was leave injector nut #1 cracked open half a turn and cranked with glow plugs on for 15 seconds and it fired. I tightened the injector nut and it idled nice and smooth as I watch the air bubbles bleed itself out on the return line.
