Thank you so much guys- very very helpful and made sense even to non-
mechanic like myself. I will work through each of these suggestions
when I get some time and let you know how it goes.

Re: M38A1 -- Idle's OK, Stalls on Acceleration
 

If I can put in my two cents worth, the problem may be related to the
fuel. Ethanol is mandated now, generally 10%, and alcohol will tear up
the rubber in older fuel systems. Some older mechanical fuel pumps use
rubber bellows and valves and they will deteriorate, as will the rubber
bellows in the older accelerator pumps. Connect a fuel pressure gauge in
the line at the carb, should be at least 6PSI. If it is, then change the
filter in the carb, if there is one. Alcohol in the fuel can knock a lot
of crud loose and plug it. I had exactly the same problem in my '61 CJ5
with an Olds V6. The filter in the carb plugged up and stopped me dead.
I rebuilt the carb with alcohol-tolerant parts. I replaced the stock
fuel pump with a Carter and added a Facet electric pump near the fuel
tank. No problems since.
