Might be the wrong section for this but if so feel free to move it.

Have a 71' Factory Duster that I'm trying to restore including the engine and is going ok but have came to a hitch.

The car will idle fine, but as soon as I change gears and start to give it gas it starts to throttle out and if I press the gas all the way down it will die out.

Not really sure what if anything you're able to tell from this but any help's appreciated.

P.S.
Will throw up a video tom. of what's going on if that will give any more clues.

Thanks again.
 
First thing I would check is the fuel level (float level) then I would look at the pump shot (accelerator pump) then make sure your vacuum advance on the distributor is working properly and also check timing.
