The computer is the only fuel kill "switch" that I am aware of.

What year vette? Their is a switch on the L98's that is coupled to oil pressure. It is located in a very inaccessible spot on the drivers side of the distributor. This allows the fuel pump to run after the initial fuel pump run that the computer allows when the key is turned. No oil pressure, no fuel pump run. Now that being said it could be a bad pressure switch or the wires fell off, but after trying to take the wires off, I don't think that would be the case. You could take the two wire harness off and jumper it and if the fuel pump runs and the car starts and runs okay, then the oil pressure switch would be at the top of my list of things, especially if you have good oil pressure when it cranks. Good Luck
