Stalling 240 200 1989

I would diagnose what effect engine compartment teperature has on this behaviour.

If it only occures when hot, could be AMM or even faulty signal from o2 sensor.
Try unplugging AMM (WHILE CAR OFF) and see if it helps significantly. If so, then likely AMM. If not, then likely not.

If the problem is there when cold too I would look for a torn off vacuum hose at the intake.

Not sure what else... maybe check too if your fuel pressure regulatro is leaking out of the vacuum line by pulling the vacuum line at the front and see if there is fuel - if so replace it at once.

but I vote air or mixture problem before lack of fuel. Lack of fuel usually causes bogging or stalling, not just lack of power.
