You may think I am off base here, but I replaced my dizzy on my 91 last year
with a used one from Scott because the Hall Sensor was toasted on the old
one. EVER since I repleaced it and timed it by ear....my van ALWAYS stalls
first thing every morning when I switch from reverse to Drive.  If I rev it
a couple of times B4 I out it in Drive, then no stall.   I gotta think my
timing needs to be adjusted.  I idle right at 8-9k, but it started happening
right after the install of the replacement dizzy.  I thought you might want
to check into the timing and slightly adjust it.  Just my .02.
BTW-Had to jump off the roof a couple of days ago since I did not have a
helper to hold my lader and screwed up my knee so waiting for pain killer to
kick in. At least it is Frydaye, so if my suggestion is off base,,,,,,blame
it on the Vicodin.  Godd luck.
