CONTAMINED GAS OR FUEL FILTER (IN THE GAS TANK)HAS TO BE CHANGE.

There are several possibilities, but based on how you described the symptoms I suggest a profile igniton pickup. On these systems the failure usually begins as dropping a cylinder occasionally,like a misfire,mostly during high underhood temperatures,will manifest into stalling and finally into a stall with no resart condition. Symptoms are most likely to occur in summer. The pickup is inside the distributor and the distributor must be disassembled to install it,the trickiest part being the removal and installation of the distributor drive gear. They are iron and easily broken. The simplest solution is another distributor. The ignition modules typically do not fail in this manner,but this is classic for the pickup coil. A code for loss of pip signal should be present, it is possible for a code to not be present,though very unlikely. Having worked on these systems for years this would be my first area of diagnosis.

sounds to me like you have a short in the ignition itself , it seems intermittent which would make me believe its the ignition

sounds like it may have broke a gear or locked in between gears i had one do that

Try replacing coil. Ford coils are notorious for issues. Common issue when coil gets warm, oil in coil expands and leaks upward into coil wire shorting out. When it cools down, starts right up again until warm. Note: This MIGHT be your problem - it does happen.

If it is carbureted it will be where the fuel line screws into the carburetor.Remove the line,then remove the fuel filter container.

1997 F-350 460 gas motor. stalls while traveling on road. just changed fuel filter, then replaced fuel pressure regulator. It will stall on either tank. Starts right away, most times

Does it have a carburetor or is it fuel injected? In 1986 it could be either way. It sounds like a carburetor with a choke problem.

Many possibilities:
Is it a Diesel?
Camshaft position sensor recall may cover it.
Gas or Diesel:
Fuel Pump and/or relay.
Fuel Filter.

Engine codes could help if Check Engine Light is on.
