1991 Z28 350TPI Wont drive

Hello! I have a 1991 Z28 that I bought about 6 months ago and was told that it would not run AT ALL. Long story short I got it running and now I am able to drive it several miles or so and it stalls and acts like it being robbed of fuel but yet it will sit and idle just fine. Is there something that these are prone to having problems with?

My '95 Chevy pickup (350TBI) had a similar issue, which I was convinced was a dying fuel pump. However, it turned out to be a plugged catalytic converter, which was choking the engine. It would idle fine, but it had absolutely no power, and could barely maintain 40mph. I would hook up a fuel pressure gauge first, and see if that's the problem though, as it's more common.
