318 Mopar stalls when I put it in drive

[homer77]

I have a 1982 dodge with a 318 it idles a little rough but relatively fine but as soon as I throw it into Drive, it lets me try for a bit, then sputters out. To start it I have to keep my foot to the floor and hold it in till it revs up to the limiter or else, it will not start. I have change the fuel filter, the fuel pump, spark plugs distributor cap. If you could give me any suggestions on what my problem is and how to fix it I would greatly appreciate it.

Could be flooding.

Causes can be float level too high [ worn needle & seat ], debris under the N & S, float is leaking [ hole in it ], N & S no longer seals due to high mileage.

Then leave it in park.

Check for vacuum leaks around the intake, carb, and any vacuum hoses....

What carburetor? Does it have lean burn still attached? Choke functional?
