Looking for suggestions:

When i tramp down on throttle engine wants to die when in gear.
Problem not there if out of gear (no load). Changed distrib cap, plugs tuneup etc. Changed fuel filters, problem still there more evident after engine heats up. I am thinking carb (accel pump?)--any suggestions, am i missing something. Hate to tear into carb if i can avoid. V6 4.3l engine.

Can you slowly engage the throttle and run it up? Did you have the problem before you changed out all those mentioned? Check the vacuum advance on the distributor, may have a bad vacuum line not letting it advance under a load!
