Could be your carbs power valve, have your carb rebuilt, also check the advance springs inside the distributor, check your vacumme advance diaphram, with a piece of vacumme hose draw a vacumme and plug the hose off with your tongue, and see if the plate in the dist does not move back to the static position, if it does the diaphram is bad and needs to be replaced, make sure all the advance parts in the dist. move freely, check for vacuum leaks.

after that, you could have something binding in your transmission or diff. your E Brake may not be releasing, if the eng will start and rev up, it may not be the eng causing the problem.

Great advice Redneck gal! Might add bad accelerator pump diaphragm as a possible, but that would be taken care of with the carb rebuild.
