Code 12 is no Distributor Reference Pulse. Check the HEI module. With no DRPs, the fuel pump won't pump so you don't flood motor. You got no spark. check the ignition system.

Default Ignition module

My '84 had a random stalling issue.
Change the ignition module (under the distributor cap, of course). Costs about 20 bucks. Takes about 10 minutes. Mine seems cured.
Good luck!
