Default 1984 trouble dying.

Can anyone help? I was going down the road and it died for a few seconds then ran for a few seconds then died then ran then died and so on for 4 miles to my garage. It starts and idles, then does the same thing sitting. Almost dies then picks up again, over and over. there's plenty of gas going in the throtle bodies when its doing it. Full tank of gas. Thanks in advance Tony L.

I know you said its getting plenty of gas, but it sure sounds like a fuel issue to me, like a clogging filter or a failing pump. have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it?

With the air cleaner off, it has a steady spray. Even when it almost dies.
I can have someone check the pressure on Monday, but i think it may be electrical.
