Engine lag on acceleration

Pickup lags every time I try to accelerate. I replaced distributor cap/rotor, plugs, wires, fuel filter. Seems like the truck is not getting fuel, but I don't know. Hoping to not have to replace carburetor. Please help. Somebody have this happen to them?

Is this a new problem or has it been there for some time? I had my main coil go out with the same symptoms a few years back. It would hiccup when I accelerated. It did it for about a week then it just wouldn't start. It was in a 94 pickup with a 22re.
