 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 and
 LR> drove fine for another five miles when I shut it down. It hasn't done
 LR> this since, does anyone have any clue what happened?  
 LR> Also it died on me twice today but started right back up after pulling
 LR> over and taking it out of gear and using the key.  My guess for this is
 LR> a loose wire going to the ignition or the fuel filter is getting
 LR> plugged up. 
 My only idea are crossed spark plug wires
