78 300D lost power on highway and stalled, now wont start

I was recently driving down the highway when my 300D seemed to be starving for fuel. It had the usual symptoms, sudden loss of power, no engine response when I hit the gas. So I coasted over to the side of the road and as soon as I stopped, the engine shut off. Now my car won't start. I replaced both fuel filters a week before and have since replaced the glow plugs and still to no avail. I have checked the voltage at each plug and all 5 have power, the engine is getting fuel (although I don't know if it's getting enough) but it just cranks and won't fire. It was running great before this happened with no issues at all. I was thinking it may be a timing issue. Would this cause a no start problem if it skipped a few teeth? My mileage is just over a 250,000 and the car is in awesome shape but I don't feel like handing a few hundred over to the dealer...Help Me!
