if you floor it, right before it quits does spit and sputter or just stalls out?

Default dies
I can think of one or two problems. gas for one, maybe not enough or
too much. Or a vacuum leak, again maybe too much air or the
distributor not advancing fast enough.
best
BTW I have a 77 Ranchero

Start with the most obvious place: the carb. Sounds like a power valve is stuck closed.
