Check for power at the coil first. I take it you're sure you have fuel in the carbs? If you have gasoline at carbs and power at the coil, when cranking is there any oil pressure . If no oil pressue then Chances are if you remove the distributor cap it isn't going around either. Then it is more that likely the little 1/8x3/4 pin in the distributor drive gear. Easy fix if you have the roll pins. Get several ( for extras)from Summit -MSD true (roll ) pins. If the oil pump still turns and it was due to stiff cold oil. If a foregn object is blocking the oil pump it gets more serious.
Next time don't get carried away with the throttle until you have warm oil. Once you've done it, you'll see it isn't hard to fix and nothing gets damaged this way. It's a great built in safety like a fuse.
Lrt us know what is happening.
