Post 1979 Ford 460

Hi.. my 1979 Ford f250 Camper Special has a 460, and when i travel uphill at speeds over 50 miles an hour my tuck will begin to sputter and i have to lay off the gas. After speeds drop down 50 seems to be the fastest I can go. My engine is still stock with a Holley 4bbl carb, not sure of the cfm. If anyone can help please do.

Mike

How many miles are on it? They had that crappy timing sprocket on the cam ,fiber covered, and when they get worn the cam gets retaarded under load and causes loss of mid to upper power. They rarely last 60k.
