Free up the fuel line from carb have someone spin engine look for fuel comming out of fuel line...could be a bad fuel pump
If that doesn't work. Check your wire
It's getting fuel tho I've flooded it a couple times
Then do as said before find TDC on #1 and verify your wireing is correct. sh*t happens :) good luck.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but if you have a quadrajet make sure the filter is not in backwards

Could be the accelerator pump in the carb is bad. Not sure this would make the engine stall, but it might be possible. How long does the engine run and idle before it struggles and stalls?

it'll idle all day if I want when I go to give it gas like if I'm taking off it kills it every time

Was thinking accelerator pump also . You mentioned you flooded it a couple of times.
Do you double check the wiring.

Let’s see you have fuel.
You have spark.
You have air
You changed plugs, wires.
I’m guess you did the wires and plugs to fix the stall.
The stall is still there!
process of elimination points to a bad carb.
