Does it stall just in gear? Does it die when you are driving down the road at a steady speed, or only when you pull to a stop? Also, does it start backup by it's self or do you have to start it?
I don't know if an 83 AOD has a lockup converter, but it could be locking up when it's not supposed to. I had a mid 80's GM car do this to me.
If it's not that, I'd check the ignition circuit for a short, bad ground or bad (loose) connection. start at the coil and search back from there. Get a haynes manual (~$15) and look at the ignition troubleshooting section.
