351M not running well

I have a 1977 F-150 4x4 351M. Today it started sputtering like it was running out of gas, it would sputter,stall, then it would finally start again, but ran extremely rough. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, coil, ignitor module, carberator, alternetor, plugs, wires, distributor cap, fuel line. Yesterday I had it timed and it ran great. This morning it ran great then all of a sudden Bang! It went to pot. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this could be?

Accelerator pump in the carb? Did you get a new carb or a rebuilt one.

It was a factory rebuilt carb. The carb was replaced 2 weeks ago. Not for sure if there is an accelerator pump or not.
ty for the welcome.

You have a Motorcraft 2150 carb, and yes it has an accelerator pump, its part of the carb.
You might also have a clogged fuel filter.
