[DeTomaso] I hate being technically incompetent-stalling issue

First, pull the air cleaner element and see if it will still stall. If not, 
replace the filter.
If it still stalls, replace the ignition coil with a known-good one and see 
if its still stalls. Can-type coils sometimes separate a wire in the windings 
internally, and as the engine and everything else gets hot, the cracked wire 
ends expand apart. When they cool, they contract back, touch and continuity is 
restored- the thing runs again. MSDs typically fail permanently and never 'come 
back'. Good luck- J DeRyke
