You nailed it. I was hoping to everything holy it was just the sensor, but that's simply not the case. No oil pressure when cranking, and just to be sure I set up my boroscope to look at the rotor while cranking... nothing, nothing, nothing, caught a tooth and spun, then more nothing. Video below, no sound because the boroscope doesn't have audio.
Guess that's it, I'm not going through the work of putting a distributor into this one, and fishing out all the metal shavings with this engine in the truck. I'll get to work on my new engine and replace. It was a good 240k mile engine, and could probably go another 50k but it's got low oil pressure and needs the bottom end rebuilt anyway. Time to build my 383. If anything this forces my hand to do something I've been wanting to do for a while. Thanks for the help, glad I didn't throw another $40 at it and not solve the problem.
