Stalling help in DFW

OK. So, about a month ago, I got her started up after a few months, She idled for about 10 minutes while i aired up tires. I made it about 1/4 mile from the house. When coming off a stop sign, it started sputtering and stalled. I got it started once more to pull it off the road. I got it started a few more times but when I put it in gear, it would die again. I towed it back to the house.

Thinking it was a fuel issue, I replaced the fuel filter and it started right back up but I did not drive it. I went out and would start it a few times a week just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

Well, I went out today and she started right up. It idled for about 10 minutes ago to get warmed up and I took it around the block before going to get it inspected. Before I left the neighborhood, it started doing it again. This time I got it started enough to drive it back in the garage.

My guess is that it is a fuel issue but seems to only do it when it is warm.

Where do I start? This is a '75 w 302 and stock carb.

Any fellas in North DFW(Denton/Corinth area) feel free to make a house call. I would love feedback on other improvements/fixes you guys would make.
