Fuel pressure when cranking is about 39-38 and holds steady when not cranking. It has spark and air cause every now and then it'll run for bout 20 seconds then die. I've even replaced the distributor cap and rotor.

Check to see if your fuel pump ballast resistor has power at both sides when running for that 20 seconds. Okay to bypass it also.
I would also perform my Tips 1,3,4, and 5 before losing too much hair over this.

Or chewed up teeth on the flywheel. But that's much more doubtful. I know you said you just replaced the starter but I've put in "new" starters from autozone, etc, and they've been faulty out of the box.
