Engine dies when I step on the gas

A little update- was finally able to take it for a cruise on Saturday. Checked the carb choke before I started the car- it was fully closed. Checked it again after letting it idle about 5 minutes, the choke was fully open. Seems to be working as it should, and the car didn't stall once during the 20 minute drive. Guess I'll let it warm up a little bit before I drive and keep an eye on it for now.
