That may be exactly what is doing. What kind of carb are you using on it.

auto or manual?
if u got a auto try not slaming on the gas to fast maybe you are flooding it

I had a similar problem with a 1965 Rambler I had and it turned out to be a bad vacuum advance. It was attached to the side of the distributor. Not sure if that narrows it down enough for you.
