Is this "stumble" in a certain rpm range, lets say around 1500~1800 rpms-most noteable in a manual, "kind of" hard to notice in an auto? If you still have the factory vac hose numbers, find where #7 vac hose connects to the base of the carb ("behind" the carb- fire wall side), use a good flashlight and inspect the hose - or use a screw diver or something and move that vac line, is it broke?

Im pretty sure it's happening when the car is not warmed up 100% yet.
around 1100 rpm.

if i slam the gas to the floor it wont be much noticeable to the passenger, it just kinda starts going but hesitates.

Think a $10 can of Seafoam would be a good idea?

PS. the vacuum line #7 is in tact and not broken or anything.

The seafoam can't hurt anything.

If I am corect 89 has vac. and mech. advance and thay both need to work So take the cap off and see if you can rotate the roter it should move 1 way and snap back very common for them to stick also check the vac, advance it should hold vac. and move the breaker plate a little repair then set timeing WITH VAC. ADVANCE HOOKED UP If timeing is not set rite all bets are off
