Sorry to hear about your woes. Have you posted this before out this web site? I would be interest to know that after it stalls if it starts right up and if it only stalls when hot or both hot or cold?

Please post as much as possible about the stalling that you can. I think RScott is pointing you in the right direction in the problem seems to be electrical.

It could very well be the switch because as they get old sometimes they just loose contact. I have friend that had a cutout problem after a restoration/engine replacement. The mechanic did not tighten the nut on the switch. This was discovered after four trips to several shops.

I suggest downloading an electrical diagram and checking all of the points in the "Ignition" portion looking for loose connections and dirty rusted/corroded points. Clean and tighten as needed. Also, where there are those crimped on connectors ensure that there is good contact (That's why I always recommend crimp and then solder). Of course, you can always start the car up and start carefully wiggling those wires around to see if it cuts out. But careful to avoid those nasty spark plug wires.

Good Luck playing Sherlock Holmes.
