So did the drive tang shear off the end of the distributor?

Prior to the oil failure did the engine backfire...?? If so you could have stripped of the oil pump drive on the distributor..Did you pull the distributor and check it out...??? Did you prime the new oil pump...is the pickup clean..???

Complete failures like you had should be the easiest to fix its' the intermittent failures that are a bitch to correct.
