Weird noise

Ok my 1978 f250 with a 400 in it has started making a weird stuffer or poping noise when driving 25mph+ is this just bad gas? Maybe clogged jet? Bad filters?

Give us a little more information, standard or automatic, what rpm does it do it at, can you feel it heasitating, does it cut out??

Auto, not sure rpm don't have a gauge probably around 3-4000, sometimes it does hesitate when I'm pushing the gas pedal

Does it do that only when there is a load on it in gear? or will it do it when sitting in neutral/parked, with the engine revved up?
