Default fuel pressure? STARTER, someting else? help!

hi guys I have a stock 6speed ls1(2000) Camaro (118k miles) and I have been having problems with it starting up. the car will start then it would die in a minute. the fuel pressure gauge would fall to E and stay there until I restarted the car

about a week later it would have rough starts like metallic noise

in 2011 the spark plugs were changed tr55's, msd wires, fuel filter new O2's 2 fronts and 2 rear Sims.

yesterday I was changing my oil and putting on my winter tires and started the car up again, it made that same metallic noise but it stated I ran it for a min to let the new oil regulate . the metallic noise only had a sound when stating up I would never hear it while driving or under WOT.

and now she wont turn over just that same metallic noise

When you say "2 post", do you mean that the MSD has 2 bolts holes in the wrong place for the block mounting surface, or something else??

The MSDs are supposed to be 'clockable', meaning they can be turned to fit a bunch of mounting positions/holes/surfaces.
