TURCK STALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This same problem has plagued me for several years and I have spent much money and time trying to fix it. In essence, I have replaced every part that could have caused the problem and I just about have it licked.
My first thought was carburator, I have a holley 4 barrel. I had it rebuilt a few years ago, so I just replaced it with an aftermarket Holley. The car ran better, but it still stalled when I gave it gas. I set the floats so the gas just trickles out the sight hole, and it still did not work.
I changed the fuel pump - it was only a few bucks but it made no difference at all. BTW I get 8 on my gauge for pressure.
I searched for a vac leak and found none.
Then the bronco died and did not start. After the process of elimination, I found out my timing chain had slipped. Turned out it was real loose, I replaced it and set the timing again and the hesitation was all but gone! Good Luck.

Check the EGR valve. I have seen similar situations with this being the culprit. Check vacuum and actual operation of the valve. Good luck.
