Would check ignition coil and connections to it first. If the spade connections have been crimped I would double check these as a poor connection can cause car to stall/cut out.
I had a problem with this a while ago.

Is the fuel filler neck in good condition ? If its rotten or rusty then chances are the fuel is contaminated. Easiest way to check is to remove the sender unit from the top of the fuel tank (under the rear seat) and have a look inside the tank for signs of water , rust or dirt.


Don't ask me....it was like that when i got here !
