Chevrolet/2.8L won't start

Question
86 Chevy Celebrity 2.8L 128,000 miles
The check engine light came on, there was just a drop of oil on the dipstick. I added a quart and drove about ten miles, then added another quart. It stalled after 75 yards, then restarted. I drove it another 30 miles and it stalled another four times. It is now dead. I have spark to the plugs, gas to the carburator, compression(120psi) on 2,4,&6, and very little slack in the timing chain. The dipstick shows about half of a quart to full.
Where should I check next? Is there an oil level sensor?
DAVE sorry I took so long I thought I sent it,
you have psi in 2-4-&6 what about 1-3-&5 ?
it might be the computor or there could be a cut of or safty in the oil sensor, try
