Engine Problem?

hey, i wasnt sure if this was an engine problem or not. so im posting this question here to see if i can get an answer or an idea what my problem is.

i have an 87 z28 with a 350 chevy in it. and lately i have been having problems with it shutting off randomly!

it usually happens if i was to step on gas and go fast for alittle bit and after stopping and cruising once again it will start to idol lower and lower until it would shut off!

i thought maybe it was old gas at first but i ran out of gas and put new 87octaine fuel in it, and stil nothing.

then i thought maybe it can be the fact that my gas tank was old and all dirty inside because my car did infact sit for about 7month.

to remedy this i baught a fuel filter that is applied at the hose before the carb, but still nothing it still tends to shut off after giving it alot of gas.

would this be an engine problem? or something else? sorry if this is in the wrong topic or w.e
