    Satan causes intermittent power loss/bucking?

    i didnt read the 3 pages of this thread so it might be a late post. But I had similar issues in my 85 and it turned out to be the ignition module. It was partially fried! Not all fried. So it would run one time and the next it would sputter and stall. Sucked. So if you havent, check that...
