it would appear that I'm not getting fuel out the injectors Options

Can't make an injector squirt. Was trying the cold start valve and then read where it had to be cold...like real cold for California as it in the high 80's today and I see it's also connected to a temp sensor so it's no wonder why that was not squirting on start. I was thinking of it as a prime of sorts for a engine cold start.

Anyway I digress. The overall problem is I crank and nothing. I smell some fuel but no leaks. Ignition was testing using Pelican parts protocol and it all checked out. As soon as the wife get's back I will actually pull a plug and see for myself at the plug but it would seem all is well there so I'm looking at fuel. MPS ohm'd out and has tangerines new diaphragm in it.

I pulled an injector and checked voltage at the 2 wire plug with the starter blazing away and I got minimal voltage. I believe it was under a volt. What should that be? Can I check the injector by applying a 12V supply to the two pins? It ohm'd out at 2.5

For the record, I primed the fuel system my applying 12V to the pump for a minute. I'm at 31 not 28 based on others who have a slightly larger displacement and that's spot on. My old problem of no 1.5 burst of the fuel pump has been fixed with another ECU. So, when that 1.5 second burst happens does it also open the injectors and prime the cylinders?

So close and yet so far.

2.3v is all that’s needed. More and you’ll fry it. Tap it momentarily to a 9v battery works to test, but don’t hold it at that voltage. Send the injectors out for cleaning and testing? They get corroded or gummed up if they sit awhile.

Huh... so I just tested a 9 volt last week and it was like 4.1 volts. I still had it and pulled the injector and hose off the rail. Benched it and tapped the 4.1 volts. NADA. It does Ohm at 2.5 but I'm guessing it's like Jeff says and is gummed up solid. This car sat in a industrial area in Van Nuys for years basically a shell and all the parts in multiple boxes. No wonder. So I could have other issues but this certainly explains why I don't have it running. I did get my wife to hit the key/starter and I have a nice spark on the plug to the tin.

So are there NOS injectors or is it better to just but rebuilt ones. I have no clue as to the mileage on this car. The engine and trans are rebuilt...yeah shame on me for using thee old injectors but they look decent but I do know that they wear and I certainly cannot spray a pattern to see so I'm just going to take the plunge. Any recommendations?
