So - took the MSD module off of the distributer, tested at Advance and was bad. Bought a new Ford module and put it on MSD distibuter. Car fired right up - drove it for a bit and parked it. Went back about two weeks later - started right up and warmed up fine. Two weeks more - drove it onto a trailer - brought it home. Started it up to back off of trailer - car died when idling - would not restart. Obviously frustrated - backed it off trailer using starter motor - using clutch to control speed - car refired and I backed it off trailer. When pulling forward onto pavement - car died again - would not refire. Used clutch and starter to move to driveway - car wanted to restart and did. Drove it down road and back. Parked it. Went back two weeks later to start and warm up - would not start. Went back today - turned over slowly - fired up and ran. Let it warm up and idle for a while - car died once again - will not restart.

Thought it might be the clutch switch -was going to change - but I do not see how that would cause it to die when it is idling in neutral with the clutch pedal out.

Thought I had it fixed by replacing the module on the front of the distributer, no luck. Just an FYI - it first went out with the Ford distributer installed.

Ideas?
Wiring issue, most likely:
Salt & Pepper Shakers
Mustang FAQ - Engine Information Check the injector harness from the EEC to each injector. Do continuity and resistance checks. Also check for a ground (which you shouldn't have) from each pin.
EEC power relay, above EEC in RH kick panel (remove glove box).

A bad fuel pump won't turn off your injector signals, BTW.
