It's either fuel or spark, try to narrow it down to one or the other.
I would bet that it's fuel. Try checking your fuel filter, fuel pump flow, and the inlet screens on the carb first, then check out electrical stuff.

Got Boost?
Sounds like a fuel problem, but grabbing a timing light when you try to rev it up, and watch to see if the timing advances with rpm isn't a bad idea either. But do what Keaponlaffen said first.
