8v n/a stalls under acceleration

1985 SAAB 900S (8v - naturally aspirated)
I was out last night, driving between stops and my car starts to feel a little shakey. Like a cold start, but during the summer. I ignore it and it goes away. I go to the next stop, leave .. and then it staggers. It goes between 5-20mph. It will not drive well enough to get home.
I get to a gas station, start checking it out. It idles fine, barely moves. I end up having to park overnight.
Today: I replace ignition wires, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, clean out the AIC, clear out the throttle body and check the air filter. The vital fluids are fine.
All in all, looks good. Now it starts, idles fine but moves between .5/3,000 RPMs. If I try to drive it, the car stalls immediately.
New cat. Exhaust should be fine. It seems to breathe, nothing to indicate otherwise.
I'm thinking the Air Mass Meter. (AMM) Perhaps the fuel pump or even the distributor. I need to get to work. I'm trying to find a definitive solution, so as that it can be addressed. We're getting into the pricier and more involved parts now.
I'd highly appreciate any input! Thank you!
Best regards,
White Vampire\Rem
