Had same problem . Replaced coil , plugs , wires , rotor cap and points . nothing fixed it . then read an article about 2 screws on the computer case that ground out and stalls the car . mine would die randomly or get really low rpm's and even when i hit the gas it did nothing until it stalled . To fix it undo the neg. battery cable , unplug the 3 connectors from the computer ( located on passenger firewall ) . Take out the screws located below plug 1 and 3 . They are a #25 star bit . Then go to Home Depot and get a small bag of #6 3/8" pan head machine srews . Works like a charm . Also you have to remove the coolant overflow tank that sits in front of the computer . Alot of people are having this proplem .

Why does the oil light come on when your car stalls?
The light comes on when the car stalls because the engine is not running and the pump therefore is not pumping. The pressure will always be 0 when the engine stalls and the light is directly related to pressure. This is normal, you have no problem, other than the engine stalling.
