429LIMA-4V sputter on start

I have a 1986 F 700 all new ignition parts. I put it in drive and it starts to sputter on take off. It sometimes dies, then it's hard to start. Help ease my headaches!

if it has all new ignition parts, did it run like this before or after the work was done...that could tell us alot about whats going on.....sounds like the timing is out....possibly the points are not adjusted right....but we need more info to give a better diagnosis.....

If its running rich its probbly a blown power valve in the carb. They use a holly carb and thats common. One good backfire would do it.
