Stalling problem

This morning i was driving my truck to school and i was doing about 55mph and for a second all interior electronics just died in the cab and the Rear AntiLock Brake light came on and then shut off. at the same time the truck acted like it wanted to stall out. but instantly everything went back to being ok. On the way home it did it again and then just never happened again. Could some sensor be causing this.


It's a 1988 Ford F-150 5.0L with a new C6 i installed last week. New distributor, spark plugs w/ wires, IAC motor, TPS sensor, starter and solenoid.
