I had a similar issue with an 83. Car would die at an idle in traffic, and restart after a minute or two.

I cleaned the MAF sensor and also removed throttle body and cleaned it. This seemed to resolve the issue for me.

I wonder if it could also be the idle air control valve. This switch controls the speed of the engine when the butterfly in the throttle body is closed (i.e. the car is idling).
