390 sputtering from dead dig

I just got my car out of storage and if I bury the pedal from a light, it sputters and I smell a little fuel. It is a 390 with a 7 month old edelbrock 600 carb, performer manifold and headers. I used sta-bil in the tank when I stored it. I used all the gas in it and put in some 94 to see if it would help but it still does it. I have to let off of the gas and ease into it when it happens. It doesnt happen all of the time and never from a roll. I put new wires,plugs,points in it also before storage. Any suggestions on what would cause this?

Re: 390 sputtering from dead dig

Depends how long its been in storage, but could be a number of things.
Leaking gaskets on Carb, if you can smell fuel.
Gunk in jets maybe.
Leaking vacuum on carb too.
Sticky distributor advance.
Sounds like a job for a mechanic.
Good luck.
