Default Blazer will start but stalls

Need some help…
1990 K5 350 tbi- will start and run for a bit then die like the ignition was turned off. It’s also random it doesn’t always have the same run time. Once I turn the key off and on back it fires right back up. I’ve rebuilt the distributor (new icm, pick up coil, cap and rotor are good), new ignition switch/relay, ecm fuses are good, new oil pressure switch, fuel pump is about 3 years old. I’ve been trying to find a loose wire or ground also but haven’t found any. Someone suggested to have the alternator checked, but I have 13-14V with no fluctuation. Any other ideas?

Sounds like a fuel issue to me. I'd start there. Either fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator or fuel filter.
