Hey guys I'm a little puzzled if there is someone who could give me some ideas or pointers to solve the issue:

I have a 1981 Bronco that was a v6 that had a 351 W swap done to it. I had the bronco for a few months and on my way home one day it cut out while driving. The first issue was, the starter relay would not disengage and after the engine was cranked over the starter would not disengage. I had to manually change the switch on the carb to adjust the fuel pressure so the engine would continue to run. 

A few weeks later, I started the car and let the engine warm up for 28 minutes, I drove it to work and on my way I stopped at a 7-11, I put the car in reverse as soon as I shifted the car in park the engine cut off. The car did not make and abnormal sounds at all it just cut off. The engine was a crank no start, I checked the carb and fuel was entering the carb, the battery was tested and good, I checked the plugs, wires, and distributor and all were fine. it was a crank no start. I had it towed home.

I bought a new starter relay, replaced it, that is all I did the car turned right over. I'm bewildered what ghost issue has had the car  randomly become a crank no start, and a day later turn right over. Also the new starter relay was popping again. brand new and after engine cranked its still not disengaging the starter. what would cause the crank no start from what is described as well as the starter relay popping?

If anyone has any help or questions to further diagnose please let me know thanks
