Did you pull the valve cover off? If so what did you find?

oil pressure does not come from the pump it comes from the bearings on the crankshaft, and the reason for your oil pump to snap the shaft is it was probably installed wrong or you may have missed it when you put your dis in....What ever the case you need to drop your oil pan and pull that oil pump off....your oil pump runs off your dist, that gear on your dis drives the oil pump, if thats not locked in on the bottom, you have no oil flowing to the top of the engine...

Re if you have no oil pressure or oil pressure is low your bearings are worn, what was the extent of you build how deep did you go into the motor...if the bearings were done the clearances are too tight so oil cannot get to crank journals
