With the plugs out the starter can really whip the engine over....Nowhere near the drag as when it's bucking compression....
All the times I have done this with dry fuel system (Injectors, HP lines and a rebuilt IP) and just fuel up to the IP from the filter and the lift pump running full on...The time to have fuel fog out from under the hood was 20-30 seconds of cranking....
Replace the plugs and go for a start....Glow and let it rip......Generally the engine will start and stay running....Maybe a little rough off and on for a short time until it settles down and smooths out to a nice idle.....

If no fuel out the glow plug holes after a couple sessions....PROBLEMS.....Fuel shutoff not working.....
Make sure of 12V to the power plug on the IP....LARGE PINK WIRE ON IP.

Make sure you have fuel delivery to the IP when you are cranking.....
Jumping the LIFT PUMP relay will run the lift pump....

The lift pump comes on during the "POST" for a short time....
