I would start with an ignition up grade , cap , rotor , , check plug wires and replace if you have to ,

check the EGR function , fuel pressure , look for a motor to chassis ground

Now all electric power is lost. No lights no nothing completely dead. Has new battery and terminals all fuses and relays are new. All wires appear good. Any thoughts

the computer may have died on you , there are many things that could be wrong
Bad Fuel pump going out ,open circuit, then you hit a bump and starts working again.
I have a1997 with a 351 w. Starts missing under a load . It has new plug wires
