Default Engine stops at any speed?

1985 vette 2000 miles on rebuilt engine. Runs great most of the time. every so often for no apperent reason the engine stops. Maybe turning into my driveway or at highway speeds. no sputter or cough just like I turned the ignition off at speed? I changed the fuel filters (2). I cleaned the tank (not very dirty). I replaced the in tank fuel pump. I have replace the ignition parts cap, rotor, module, plug wires....I am now wondering if this car has fuseable link? I don't think its heat related. The car has gone maybe 300 miles before this happens, then again it may occur three times within one mile? always starts right up. I'm hoping one of you guys have heard of this.

I would have voted for replacing the module, but you have already done that. It has to be a bad connection someplace. I would take all the connnectors around the dist. apart and check for any signs of corrosion.
