The Great Pumpkin was, for the second time under my extended ownership, brought home on the hook today

. Sure I was in stop and go traffic in the 79% humid , 80 degree temps for almost 30 minutes, but I've been stuck in worse. What I found strange was that out of gear the car idled and revved just fine, but as soon as I dropped it in to drive, it sputtered and stalled out. Almost sounded like a run on situation of sorts. Would immediately restart, but again, under load, it died. Tank, pickup, lines, filter are all fresh. Thanks to AAA Platinum (don't leave home without it

), the trip home was an uneventful one, although due to Covid concerns (I understand completely), we had to grab an uber for the ride home. Took uber longer to get to us than AAA. Car fired right up after the 40+ mile tow, drove it into the garage and tucked it in for now. Not certain if their was dirt in the needle seats, fuel pump going bad, or the carb is due for a trip to "Drew" for a complete going through, which is what I am leaning towards at the moment. SWMBO chalked it up as just another adventure for us, she has always been good like that over the years.
So, with that bit of ramble out of the way, what say you? Am I on the right track?
