gas so I waited for the parade to start with the gas pedal
floored, thinking it would dry out. Gave it one last try and
it roared to life, got in line did parade drove home. Its
acting like a fuel problem. Besides stalling at lights [bump
starts fine] it also occasionally idle drops to 500 rpm and
doesn't respond to the throttle, unless I shut it off and
quick restart and acts normally.
Side note: the ignition switch will shut off engine, but
dash lights stay on. Have to use Master Battery kill
switch or battery goes flat. It's rapidly declining in
reliability.....more ideas?
You need to fix that "dash lights stay on" problem first and it may fix other problems. If you don't know how to read a schematic and use a voltmeter maybe someone close can help you.

Sounds like more than one circuit to me.
(Relay hanging?)
Do the marker, tail, or other lights stay on when the dash (?instrument & panel?) lights stay on?

hmmm
Pulled all the fuses with battery master on
Didn't shut off dash battery light [the only one
lit up]. Will check starter and alternator wires
to see if anything is touching.

Try unplugging the NY (Brown/Yellow) wire at the alternator first.
