Occasional Stalling Issue 200 1981

Original Post:
http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/volvo/1547498/220/240/260/280/occasional_stalling_issue.html

First let me admit I have not done any work on the car yet.

New Observations:
I don't drive the car often and then only local city and <25 mph.
The stalling has started happening every time I drive it. Seems to happen only when braking but not every time I brake. It does not happen immediately when I brake. I once tried keeping the revs up to 2k in neutral and it still stalled.

The brake booster is original but the vacuum lines are new.
The engine runs perfectly smoothly and just cuts off as if I turned off the key.
I have a catch tank connected to the stock oil separator box. The tank has a vacuum line to the intake. I don't get much oil in the tank.

Any suggestions/comments greatly appreciated.
