      Might be corrosion on the fusable links if you haven't replaced them

        I have already replaced fusible links with a fuse block. Sorry I didn't post that earlier.

          Try to wiggle connectors with it running. You'll find your problem

                My next step would be a fingernail file, and clean the terminals in the distributor plug, and vaf

                  Mine quit on me two nights ago just after getting to work to clock in. When I went outside, she started fine, then stalled when I put her in gear. I messed with the spark plug & coil wires and with the VAF plug and she started fine. I think it was a loose VAF plug connection. Just random. Starting and idling fine and then stalling under any load is a main symptom of your FI VAF not being connected.
