Odd problem

[Grand_Marquis_LSS]

Ok so this has only happend two times since I started driving the Lincoln. First time was a couple days after I got it on the road. I would be driving at a steady speed, then all of a sudden the Engine boggs right down spitting and sputtering with no power at all. After pulling over and feathering the gas a bit its fine. Never thaught much of it and Never had the problem again until today (about 4 or 5 weeks since the first time) when it did the same thing, and it was the exact same sonario. seems to last about 30-45 seconds before it clears up.
So I checked my clear fuel filter and it looks clean and clear of debris.
Any other idea's?

Oh and its a 351W with a 2150 carb

Carb issue perhaps?

i know that ethanol and carb seals dont work together too well, you might try rebuilding the carb and see what happens, it does sound like a engine not getting fuel somewhere issue, had some issue with my old 318 carb motor that i had i rebuilt the carb ,cleaned it up and never had any issues after that.

might have a bit of crap in the carb that moves around. Might also be a loose connection on the coil or elsewhere in the ignition system.

Ok. I might try to run some fuel system cleaner through, and I will check and clean all the ignition system wireing connections. Every part on my ignition system is original to the car, so it might be time for a full tune up.
Thanks

If the parts are original including plugs and wires (!), then that is almost guaranteed to be your problem.
