I think I've got the gist of this. The 454 has a carburetor fed by an engine-mounted mechanical fuel pump. BUT SOME P-30 models have an in-tank electric pump feeding the mechanical pump. OK so far? The electric pump is powered through a relay. The relay powers the pump IF either, driver is cranking the engine, OR the engine is running, determined by oil pressure.
OP believes the in-tank pump isn't running due to a bad relay or not staying running due to an intermittent relay.
A likely scenario, but... Are all filters new or clean, including the little one in the inlet of the Quadrajet? And, is the mechanical pump good?
