I've had pumps go in my Regina cars and replaced them. Your symptoms don't sound like a pump problem to me. But the suggestions to listen for the relay and pump by turning the key to position II and checking the fuel pressure at startup are good ones.

My first thought would be your Crank Position Sensor. If it is original, the insulation and so the wiring may have deteriorated. This is sometimes visually obvious, but try this test. When the car won't start, go out and wiggle the wire for the CPS (even better if you can do it while someone else is cranking). If manipulating the wire seems to change the situation one way or the other, than it's a pretty good sign you need to replace it.
