I have an Edelbrock Carb and am not sure I am having a carb issue but I am definitely having a fuel issue.  I will be driving down the road...30-40 mph and when I go to accelerate the engine bogs down and almost stalls.  I can take my foot off the gas pedal and coast, then re-accelerate and it goes away.  Some times are worse than others.  I can pull over to the side of the road and rev the engine with no issue of engine trying to stall.  Anyone ever experience this or have any ideas where to start?

It does not happen all the time. Intermittent at best, but really a .  As soon as I have driven for a few miles at 30-40 mph and then go to accelerate and it bogs. I can pull over and put it in neutral, rev the engine and it runs great.  Then I put it in drive and take off...okay until it happens again.  Idles fine, no hesitation.  Unfortunately I do not have a Tach on it so I am guessing at the idle RPMs but it idles smooth...guessing 900rpms?  I am going to try replacing all the vacuum hoses first...since that appears to be the most common problem.  Will update everyone.  Thanks for the quick responses.
