68 mustang dies on hard acceleration

This is one of multiple problems. 302 4 barrel eddlbrock-weber. Car is in park. Stomp on gas and the car dies. Problem 2: Intermitent stalling while driving. Does it when car is cold and when car is warmed up. I'm thinking something is wrong with the carb. Bought car this way no previous history. Any good ideas welcomed.

Your probably getting too much fuel and it's flooding the cylinders with fuel and not enough oxygen. Not fully sure but an idea.

Re: 68 mustang dies on hard acceleration

Clogged fuel filter? Clogged air filter? Carb need rebuild? Vacuum leak?

Has new fuel filter. Has new K&N air filter. Has new eddlbrock carb. And its intermitent. Vacuum leak would be constant. Thanks for the ideas. I will still double check for a vacuum leak.
