Reviving an abandoned sole

I just picked this truck up. 94 idi with the banks sidewinder turbo setup. Someone tried stealing or borrowing the fuel selector valve then it was started and sucked air.
I changed the selector valve but it never got fuel to the filter so I vacuumed manually (aka drank 2 year old diesel) and got fuel to it. But when I reconnect the line it drains back and won't pump again.
I bought an electric fuel pump and hopefully will install tomorrow. Pics!!

Dirty

Barnacles

Clean?

Sounds like the lift pump is toast, air intrusion isnt uncommon but is usually easy to fix.
