1988 Ford F250 7.3 International

I just cant get this started! Parked it a year ago after barely making it home. Saw fuel under it and thought the fuel pump let go and it ran like out of fuel. Replace mechanical fuel pump and realized t he cam looked worn so added a electric fuel pump Nada!! Change all the glow pugs and controller! It back fired one time but wont start. Always been a paint t ostart after sitting a week.

Owned the truck since 1993 and has 150k miles. Yes it has always taken starting fluid to start and wondering if this has take a toll. Problyly have not put 10k miles on it since 1997. Thoughts are appreciated.
