Addendum: just replaced the entire distributor and found that the old one was completely opposite from the way it should be; plus, there were two plug wires that were crossed, so i'm not sure how the truck ran as well as it did... surely this timing fault must account for my initial stalling issue, yeah? NOW it runs like a new truck with more pep and power than before! Thanks for listening
I assume opposite means 180 out of alignment. Mine ran with a wire crossed and hardly gave a sign. The PCM can do wonders.

yes, 180 out is exactly the term my mech used! the only other thing we found was a threaded hole through the side of the throttle body carb which he says was some emission control gizmo that previous owner took out. we plugged the hole. if this truck never stalls out again then i'll assume we fixed it! Thanks for all the help..
