Have a 50 model Ford Custom with Flathead V8. Was coming home from town yesterday. Going up a bridge with a slight incline. All of a sudden the car started bucking really bad. Thought it was going to die. Pushed in on the clutch and reves it up a few times. Luckily made it over the bridge. After I got over it things straightened out. This is the second time it has did this. Both going up and incline. This is the second time it has happened.
It has a new carb on it with an electric fuel pump. Don't know when the filter was changed. Anything I should look for? It starts and runs fine except for this.
