Get the car on a lift or the rear solidly on stands and you should be able to determine that.

Most likely a vaccuum leak, least likely a fuel problem. Although it is a Holly. Lutz still in a dry county? Haven't been there in a long time.

the vaccum line to transmission with this much older 400 type should have normal engine vacuum to it . this will create downshifting.

the ported vac line [vac when throttle is opened] goes to the distributor vac advance.

if the engine stalls when placed in gear this may mean the torque converter is bad or other transmission issues.

this is not an OEM AS BUILT VEHICLE. so your not going to get any exact answers.
