Can only start car using starter fluid. After its started it runs pretty good. Checked fuel pressure, replaced distributer, coil, wires, etc. Replaced oil pressure sensor. It is the 5.7L TPI.

Pump runs when ignition is on for 2 sec.
Pressure is 46-48 lbs. I have replaced the
oil pressure sensor. If there is a oil pressure sending
unit I can't find it.

Try this locate the injectors and crank engine over and listening whether the injectors are clicking. If so test the oil pressure sending unit.
