I've gotta go for now so have to be too fast. Stop throwing parts at it as it's wasting money. Not sure but some of this vintage the oil pressure switch was involved. Count how many wires go to it and I'll be watching,

do you want me to check how many wires go to the oil switch?

Dave - God bless - we do this for free and I don't have pricey software/programs at my fingertips to know each system for each vehicle and even then can be WRONG!

OK: Multiple wires to a common oil pressure switch could (repeat could) be the issue. Wiring to it or item itself.

Hey! Know that cars/vehicles are meant to shut down chiefly in the case of an accident. None of us need a fuel pump still running or the engine if all smashed up God forbid.

In short - the oil pressure switch or gauge and wiring to it is a maybe. Intermittent anything is a hair puller!
