Another no-start

A '91T came into my possession over the weekend...#15 I believe. Anyway, this one has me a bit stumped. Supposedly the car ran fine until the head gasket finally gave out so it's been parked since spring. I changed out the head gasket and the bloody thing will not start. The cam timing is spot on, the distributor timing is where it was to begin with, did a compression test and it was good (all within 5 pounds of each other), good spark from the plugs, yadda, yadda, yadda.
I have fuel in the rail and good pressure however I am starting to believe the injectors aren't working. I have come to this conclusion because I would think the spark plugs would be soaked from all the cranking but they are awfully dry.
If I understand correctly, the system relay (by the ECU) runs the injectors, AMM and a few other things, but I also am of the understanding if the system relay is bad, the fuel pump will not run also? Is that correct? Any ideas?
