Car dies under hard acceleration

I have an 88 camaro with a tbi 350 in it. I had never had this problem before today, but in about 15 minutes of driving it happened three times. Whenever i get on the gas in first or second gear, the car will start to accelerate like normal for a couple seconds, but then will lose all power and completely die. I did notice that before happened the battery guage in my car was reading lower than usual but I don't know if thats related at all. I was thinking probable more along the lines of a fuel delivery issue like maybe a dying fuel pump but I'm definitely no mechanic so any helpis appreciated.
