Engine dies when I step on the gas

Thanks all, the car isnt at my house so I cant check it right away, but I will. This is my first carburated auto so Im by no means an expert at diagnosing carb issues. Like I said, it seems to idle fine but when it died it was the instant I tapped the accelerator (and only while in "Drive"). It is old fuel and fuel filter which will be changed shortly ( the gas in the tank is at least from September when I bought the car)

FWIW, I think its probably running a little too rich, I noticed black soot on the floor by the tailpipe where I left it to idle for ~5 minutes. Not sure if that narrows it down (at all).

Thanks everyone!
