[T2] '76 bay misfires, sometimes stalls: why?

The cause of my intermittent stall (very short duration) turned out to be a
poor connection at the AFM.

Don't douse yourself with a flammable toxic substance. Don't poison the air
with VOCs. Don't contaminate the earth with chemicals that are designed to
dissolve gum, varnish, and carbon.
There is a tool available that is essentially a pair of vice grips with a
long flat jaw parallel to the handle. Harbor Freight has them for less than
ten bucks. They're designed to flatten the fuel line, kinda like stepping
on the garden hose while your kid bro is washing the car, except they work
100%.
Clamp the tool on the hose coming from the tank, start and run the engine
until it dies. Filter, pump, and all fuel lines will be pretty much empty.
