question about engine losing power

Hi. I'm having an issue with my '51 200. When I hit about 35-40 mph the engine bogs down and loses power. then if I let off the gas and slow down I can accelerate again until about 35-40 and it does it again. It feels to me like its not getting fuel. Things I have done: new plugs, plug wires, points/condenser, rotor, dist. cap., coil, all things that needed replaced anyway. Electric fuel pump was added about a year ago. It's getting good spark, timing is correct, fuel to carb. At this point I am assuming it's something in the carburetor, which of course is the one thing I don't feel comfortable messing with. The carburetor was rebuilt about a year ago with the ethanol safe kit from max merritt. no issues after the rebuild. Anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here. Thanks for any info.
