The fact that you "had to change the distributor" sounds like trouble.If the engine conked out with the old unit in place,maybe it's a different failure altogether.I'm guessing that it lost spark and shut down[throwing on the oil light in the process]because the coil is bad.I saw a great mechanic get stumped on a similar Cherokee,it turned out to be the crankshaft position sensor,located on the top of the bell housing.It gives a pulse when the crank is at top dead center.Good luck.

Check your oil.

Aftermarket remanufactured distributors may not work sometimes. First check to make sure you have good spark at one of the spark plug wires that connect to a cylinder spark plug. See the spark tester below.

Are you sure it was the oil pressure light and not the "check engine" light that went on? Because that would make more sense.

How do u make sure the timing is set when replacing a timing chain in a 1991 ford aerostar with a 3.0?

i had the same problem with a remanufactured distributor (different vehicle) the problem was the pick-up coil in that unit. take that distributor back to where you bought it and tell them that it is defective.
