Default Yikes! My car won't accelerate in turns!

I don't hear a clunk like an axle would make, but my car just plain won't accelerate in a hard turn. Just started happening yesterday. Car bogs down and struggles to climb RPM, and my motor shoud be puttin down plenty of power to do that

Car accelerates HARD in straight lines. Gas is still about 1/4 tank. Clutch chirps in first thru third. I feel like I notice the problem only in third gear when going from decel to accel. I know I have a bad distributor bog already that hits at 3,000 RPM (I hope it's the distributor?) but I feel like the fact that I only notice this problem in third gear means worse problems, most likely tranny related?

wierd it only does it in turns. maybe time for a new clutch, but if it doesn't do it any other time, that couldn't be the problem, could it? huh, you got me stumped. very odd, very odd indeed

I'm going on a hope and prayer that it's the distributor simply on the fact that the clutch grabs hard all the time.
