Mk1 stalling....HELP!!!!



Here's the deal...
I was bringing the '81 home last night, got her all warmed up and was on
a back road for appx. 15 minutes.  Stopped at a stop light, turned
green, started accelerating, and she stalls.  Pulled over, she started,
but barely.  She kinda stumbled to the next stop light, and again, it
stalled.  Pulled over, got her started back up, and one more stop light
to go (the busiest intersection of them all).  Again, stalled at about
3000.  Got pushed to a gas station, and got towed home (second time in 2
weeks).
Here's the deal (while playing with it in the parking lot waiting for
the flat-bed):
It'll start, but at 3000 rpm, it just shuts down.  When it starts back
up, it idles REALLY low (200-250), but eventually idles up.  Even so, if
I let it idle or hold revs at about 1500, eventually it will just stall
again.  What's the deal?  I'm tentatively thinking fuel filter, but I
dunno.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
