LR> I've got a question that has bugged me ever since it happened.
LR> I have a 460 with a 4bbl carb and electronic ignition in my Ford 
LR> F-250.
LR> Yesterday while traveling to work at 65mph the engine suddenly lost  
LR> power and then violently back fired so loudly that it shook the truck 
LR> and  made the guy tailgating me back way off. Then it came back up 
LR> and drove fine for another five miles when I shut it down. It hasn't 
LR> done this since, does anyone have any clue what happened?  
LR> Also it died on me twice today but started right back up after 
LR> pulling over and taking it out of gear and using the key.  My guess 
LR> for this is a loose wire going to the ignition or the fuel filter is 
LR> getting plugged up.
