My car boggs down at WOT from a dead stop and when I'm cruising down the road and punch into it, the RPM drops to zero then back up again, could the vacuum and cintrifugal advance on the distributor be causing this?

are you running an ECM? i doubt it but if you are there are gains to be made in the prom tuning. my first guess is you need to tune the carb and maybe the timing, but i'd wrok on the carb first.
