Default Engine stalling and running erratically at times

I have a 74 c10 with 5.3 4l60e swap. The truck fires up and idles fine and all of a sudden it will idle real low then catches itself back up or completely shut off. Then it'll immediately fire back up once I turn the key. I did have a code for and maf but it's in speed density. I thought it would be a fuel pump issue so I replaced both filter and pump and it does the same thing. So I drove it put it in the highway fine but in stop and go traffic and low speed it stalls and cut off in traffic. I catch hell trying to start it. Some times it takes a couple of times but when it does it runs erratically and BOOM it runs like a champ but cuts off. I can have it to the floor under the erratic condition and it will cut off. I don't get it. I checked all of my connections grounds 12v key constant. It's firing on all 8. Idk what else it can be. Has anyone been down this road before?

Look for the EDIT button at the bottom of the first post. Deleting that post will delete this extra thread.
