Fuel under the best conditions in an internal combustion engine is 14:1, that's (14 parts oxygen 1 part gasoline), O2+Gas = Fuel, that's if your engine is stochiometric which is the standard for optimal operation of said engine. Neither of which would achieve full potential in said engine until it's compressed, then ignited.
You might want to ask your question in the older trucks section -- you'll get a lot more detail. But about the restart -- that sounds like the computer is giving it the initial shot(2 seconds) of fuel. Then it's not getting the signal that the engine is running so it doesn't re-enable the fuel pump.
Not sure if the engine running signal is oil pressure or RPM, but that might be causing your problem. Some Fords from that era did need an oil pressure signal to keep running
The guys in the older trucks section should have a lot more info.
