It makes sense to me that if , indeed, the olds has an oil pressure switch that relays power to the fuel pump - after the initial "timed" circuit through the relay, then perhaps the oil psi switch is bad or abroken wire..

Maybe try n keep the engine running with an alternative mean for fuel delivery (squirt can of gas /ether) - just to see if it is fuel or spark related
