Help with laying down on accel 82 .
Got a 82 that wants to fall out/feells like a lean miss at part throtle & while giving her heavey gas . During dead stop heavy acell or a 45 mph gas, it plain falls out . but the problem isnt really consistant on the part throt part of it . it will always lay's completly down under heavy acell though. Sounds confusing ,but thats how i can explain this.

Could be the fuel pump. Do you notice it more when your gas tank is less than 1/2 full?
How does it idle? Do you see a good spray at the injectors?
For what it's worth, very fuel related issue I have had with my '82 has either been dirty fuel filter or bad fuel pump.

Fuel filter changed recently?

If you notice this behavior especially when the gas tank is about 1/2 full, I would have to suspect the FP.
Since you didn't mention seeing the Check Engine Light I assume it is not coming on?
