ok the car idels fine but mostly in lower gears it stalles like it's not getting enougf fuel and sometimes on the freeway it cuts out and when I push down on the gas pedal it picks back up after a few seconds.I have replaced both fuel filters,airfilter,PCV,spark plugs,wires,dist.cap,roter.????

Sounds like a bad fuel pump or a bad carburetor. I'd start by checking for vaccuum leaks, then check the fuel pressure. If you can't find any problems then it's time to rebuild the carb.
