You don't mention the year, but I had one with a bad condenser that exhibited exactly the symptom you describe.

You don't have a condenser in a 1990 truck. A condenser is used with breaker point type distributors and will react the same way when they fail. Ford stopped using points after 1974.

DjDemon6696 I fought this same problem with my truck mainly how I was able to steal it, no one knew what was wrong. Took the same route as you replaced everything. I was then told by a some that it was the fuel pump and others "oh no couldnt be". Well I checked the fuel pressure at idle and it was fine, little be hold under load in drive the pressure would spike up and down ant that truck would buck like a full size bronco. I changed the fuel pump and the problem went away. Not saying every case is the same but thats what worked for me. Let us know.......how many miles on the truck? trans?

its not a fuel problem when i give it WOT its got its power. but like its running on 7 cyl..and smoking black soo fuel its got.. spark im not shure.. maybe one plug is faulty becuase the problem came slowly and got worse and worse.. first it misses but when i got to high rpms it somethimes cathes back and pull strong like allways.. im going to change the plugs tomorrow see what happens. i have a set on my new engine im going to swap them see what happens ..
