Sounds like a possible fuel pump issue, or perhaps a problem with the carburetor.

I had same problem five years ago. The fuel pump worked and pumped the gas very well when checked but the car still stalled. Found out later there are “ two” fuel pumps .. the second one is in the gas tank itself. I replaced it and the problem was solved.
