Check the wiring that leads to the distributor to see if it has a broken tachometer signal wire.
We had one of these same 7F models that did this and a broken tach signal wire about 12 inches back from the distributor was the problem.
Apparently the 7F models are wired to be able to run without a tach signal in the cranking mode only, but will die immediately when the key is returned to run mode and a tach signal is absent.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
