Don't run right

My 1967 352 don't run right. It idles good but when you get out on the road and give it some gas it falls on it face and surges. I don't know if it is a firing broblem or a gas problem.
Anyone got any ideas what the problem might be?

Sounds like carburetion. I would bet that your accelerator pump has taken a dump. Buy a rebuild kit for 20 bucks at your local parts store and go to town. Could also consider buying a new carb...

Check your timing and make sure it advances. It sounds like you are not getting enough advance. Could very well be the carb as mentioned above but check the timing first.
