 Jomac,

I have experienced a similar problem on occasion usually after the car has sat for a while. The car starts and runs normally until I get out on the road then under brisk acceleration it starts to sputter then I have to do a low RPM drive home.

My problem was one(or both)of the pistons in the carburetors sticking so under acceleration the carb is starving the motor. Pulling the carb tops off and cleaning and lubing the pistons solved the problem.
