The car would be driving fine then would stall and be completely dead. After a minute or two it would come back to life start right up and run fine. A number of members pointed me toward loose battery cables, and when I checked them they were clean and tight. I never noticed that the B+ wire was attached to the positive cable with a nut until much later. When I did, I found out that it was very loose, not even finger tight. I took it off, cleaned the wire and the stud, and the spot on the inner fender where it connected to the rest of the wiring harness, then reassembled everything with new nuts and washers and lock washers and the problem has never returned. I still have the other stalling issue on initial startup but I think I'm closing in on it.

No chance it will be my battery terminals. The battery is new and I have disconnected and connected it over and over with no issues.
Right now I am going to wait on the fuel pump, install it, test the car then start another chapter in this stalling saga.
