take off.....DIE!!!
My beast developed a new problem this morning....she started fine and got up to 160 F, put it in reverse and gave a little tap on the gas and it died. Started up again, put it in reverse and it died again. Started it up AGAIN and gave her HELLA gas and didnt die. 
It does it in Drive and reverse, im thinking it a carb problem. Stock 360 2bbl. Carb is a Reman.

oh...you mean that little plunger thingy? thats been replaced with a new one about a month ago. Maybe i should take it back off and check it out?
I would say the problem only happends on 2-3 on the scale...
(No throttle "idle" 0) (full throttle 10)
0..1..2..3..4..5..7..8..9..10

Or, your coil could be fine, and your running way too lean. Check your air/fuel mixture as well.
