Not sure what the oil pump and carb have to do with eachother, the oil pump is usually driven by the distributer drive so may be the timing is off, recheck the distributer timing and go from there
The problem is within the timing. Pull all spark plugs, disconnect ignition coil and clear the cylinders to be certain the cylinders are not flooded. Install all plugs, connect the coil and get the timing light and a test buddy. If you have a carburetor then you have points. Clean the points in the distributor and set them back to specification at TDC cylinder one. Look at the orientation of the rotor and where it points. Look at the cap, is it pointing to plug wire #1? It should be. If not rotate the distributor until it is set to TDC cylinder 1. Another thing to test would be a knock sensor or ignition module. Use the timing light to set the distributor angle. Go with the specifications first. If you don't like the acceleration add 2 degrees more BTDC.
check the oxygen intake system. I'm not sure but your car is eighter the caburator or fuel injected.
in anycase the white smoke and cuting off, backfiring and loosing power is cause of the caburator or oxygen sensor (in fuel injected cars).
get your oxygen intake system serviced. it fits your problems perfectly. seeing the age of your car I'm betting its caburator, have that serviced or replaced.
First you need to determine exactly where the leak is coming from. Clean the engine off with some rags so there is no oil dripping. With the engine running look closely to see where the oil is coming from. The chances are pretty good that it can be fixed with a new gasket or two.Hope this helps.
