Engine dies randomly
OK all I need some ideas, my engine is a stock 351m except for a demon carb, 90% of the time it runs great but then once in a while it will die at every stop light, or when I let off the gas. Once it starts doing this it will usually keep doing it untill I turn it off and let it sit awhile. I don't believe it is carb related because the stock 2150 did the same thing, I have gone threw and repaired all the vacuum leaks. I am starting to lean towards the control module but don't want to buy one without being at least semi sure (money is tight as a bulls butt in fly season)
Any ideas or sugestions??

MY first 79 Bronco did the same thing, it turned out to be just the carb getting gummed up from contaminants in the fuel tank and lines. It did the same thing to a few different carbs.
I also had a situation in which the engine would randomly die at lights, because the distributor pick up coil was worn out.
