I would check the return line regulator on the pump. They used to be $50, and can cause a hard to prime condition. Been a while since I was in the thick of things with the VP though.

Those lines take a while to prime after being empty. With the throttle floored, crank for 10 seconds, wait a minute then crank another 10 seconds until fuel shows up at the injector fittings then tighten them up and start the truck. I loosened #1,#3,#4 & #5 until fuel arrived.
If it ran fine before, it'll run fine now...keep the batteries charged.
