This seems lika a fuel problem. The first thing to do is, usually, to change fuel filters. Don’t forget the inline fuel filter near, or in the carburetor. Then, check fuel pressre. The carburetor may need to be rebuilt. ---

After the fuel filters, check the spark. Plugs, wires, etc. make sure that you are “running on all cylinders.” ---

I also believe it is the fuel system. As I recall they still did not have fuel delivery worked out on that first generation pollution control equipment.
