Stalls after stop
I've got a problem and I am too dumb/clumsy to figure it out on my own. My 82 trans am (LG4) starts and runs just fine, with one exception. If I stop too hard or suddenly, my oil pressure will drop to zero and the car will stall. As long some guy doesn't cut me off or I don't almost miss the offramp, I am fine. Any ideas?

I'd start with checking out your oiling system(oil pump etc) or even possibly your fuel system.

It sounds to me like one (or both) of these:
A) Float level way off
B) Oil pump pickup came off
