HELP! engine dies when I give it gas

89 350 TPI

I have replaced my fuel pump and filter after thinking it wasnt getting enough fuel. I can raise the revs if just very very slightly increasing throttle barely any more and it starts to die and cuts out but sometimes if I let off it keeps running. I really need everyones help to get this fixed.

thanks

Let me know if you need more info
