89 350 TPI hard cold start

Hello everyone. Just started having this issue the past weekend. When the car is cold (after sitting overnight) and I crank it, it has an extended crank and then fires and dies. I can crank again and it will crank and fire normally. I recently replaced the oil pressure switch due to erratic gauge and rough idle. I am thinking that I may have a bad fuel pump relay and the pump is not going until I have oil pressure. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: I checked the relay today and it tested ok. Re-connected and tested and now the pump will prime when the key is turned on. Suspect it was just a poor connection. All good now!
