I don't ever remember seeing a 3.2L Chevy V6, it is there on the 3.8L Buick towards the front, and ~under the distributor on the SBC [V8] Sorry I can't help with that but others will come along. I wouldn't jump to that conclusion, first if you can find it and reach it, pull it out and test it, that will need a little pressure [air will be good] about 3# IIRC for a Chevy no more than ten though the terminals are marked on the OEM ones and
my aftermarket was, I would check to see if all the terminals on the starter have wires and none hanging with nowhere to go [lift it up and look good they could have been tucked way up or even trimmed of so this will need a good look] . If the car has sat for, sometimes as little as a week, there will not be enough fuel in the carb to start, so probably not enough oil pressure while cranking to run the pump so it will not start, a cheat would be to fill the carb through the top vent and try it. If it starts and quits, try a second time to ensure the pump has time enough to fill the lines and some in the bowl, then if it starts you can play detective with a helper, one watches if the light goes out, while the other listens for the pump, [I wouldn't rule out adding a test light to determine if you have power at the pump while running with the dash oil light out] you may have a hard time even with a quiet exhaust as these aren't like the external High Pressure EFI pumps much quieter. Then you should also verify the engine does have oil pressure. I know this sounds like a lot of work but most of this is time only, not more than $3.00 for a squirt of fuel and maybe a test light. You now have an old car and you will need the test light eventually! Harry
