it could be a number of things, the first thing to check and the least expensive is the fuel filter. If a fuel filter is clogged, it will act like the vehicle is out of gas. You would be surprised at the gas mileage also that will get by changing the fuel filter answered by Littlestown Lube & Brake Littlestown, PA 717-359-5022

What is wrong with this 1985 celebrity 2.8 V6 2 barrel It starts and idles fine but when put into gear and press on the gas pedal it feels like you're running out of gas but once above 45 MPH its ok?
I would first look at the accelerator pump in the carburettor. The accelerator pump puts a short burst of raw gas into the air stream. This gives an enriched air flow into the engine causing acceleration. To check the accelerator pump: With the engine off remove the air filter and hold the choke valve open (if it is closed). Then move the accelerator linkage to open the throttle valve and you should be able to see a spray of raw gas into the venturi. If there is no spray then you need to make sure the linkage is working correctly. If the linkage is pushing the accelerator pump down and there is no spray you may consider replacing the accelerator pump.
How do you start a warm fuel injection engine?
DO NOT try and try again. This leads to a dead battery and/or flooded engine. Instead, try lightly tapping the accelerator pedal ONCE while cranking the engine. If that doesn't work: Something is broken. Get it to a mechanic who can understand what is wrong.
