It does have an externally regulated alternator, which has been recently replaced, he had it replaced again under warranty when the stalling started but it didn't help. We replaced the original regulator too.

He took it in and had it diagnosed at the Caddy dealer he normally uses. They found several buried wires that had corroded and separated connectors. They didn't tell him where the wires originated/terminated. After repairing them, they reported higher voltage at the HEI than when they started diagnosing things.
All seems good with the car now, no more stalling!
