So my 81 Rabbit non diesel runs great and then it will run for about 45 seconds maybe a little longer and then it just dies. If I rev it a little bit in between that 45 seconds it will run a little bit longer. And when it dies the oil light is on and so is the alternator light. But the oil level is still good. And it will start right back up with no hesitations

Change your fuel filter and measure the PSI of the pump, is it good?
