    When you turn the key to the run position, you should hear the fuel pump come on then go off. Does that happen? Another question is how many miles on the currently installed Opti Spark? The Opti Spark is the distributor located under the waterpump. If the waterpump leaks, say goodby to the Opti! They are notorious for just quitting. How have you checked your ignition? Did you pull off a plug wire and crank or use a timing light? I would think without the luxury of a diagram, even if the oil pressure switch was bad it would at crank, start and then die.
