I have a 75 nova with a 262 in it. When you floor it quickly it stalls and will die sometimes. If you were to slowly take it to the floor it will go pretty good and then someimes it studders. It seems like it does it a little less when it is warm. It will still stall if you hit the throttle by hand too. I have replace the plugs, plug wires, Carburetor, fuel pump, vacum advance, coil, distributor cap, rotor, checked timing. Don't know what else it could be.

It could be simply the fuel filter, I had a similar problem with my 1975 chevy nova that has an inline 6 (250) It was just that the engine wasn't getting enough gas to it, the fuel filter was pretty clog up! let me know how it goes
