Stalls in Gear, Automatic- Restarts Good- Can Slam it into Gear! EEEK

define "compression good".......... two things to me come to mind, first is a bad timing chain, chk. your compression, u want somewhere in the 125 psi mark. sounds like it is stretched a little to far.........second is as others have said, a fuel delivery problem. sounds like the carb is bleeding over and causing a flooding condition. get a fuel regulator to drop the pressure, or get a carter mechanical pump.
