My 1990 Ford Bronco stalls when I drive through water puddles. What is wrong?

You're driving through too many puddles!

It's impossible to see what's wrong over a computer but it's almost certainly ignition system-related. Use a spray bottle to spray water on the engine while it's running and still cold. In particular, watch around the ignition coil for arcing. Anything that is affected that easily by water should be rather easy to locate with the water bottle.
