My 56 "400" has been running well on several short drives until yesterday. At speed the engine seemed to stop running and lost power. The next moment power returned. Stalling happened a few more times but by the time we arrived home the engine ran normally. The engine has been rough starting of late, normally this 352 starts on the first turn.
Would anyone care to comment if this is a lifter problem?

Ahhhh... yet another perfect description of what happens when one has a perforated flex hose on the fuel pump. A condition usually caused by age and dry rot. First, the hose get hairline cracks, then perforations. Then mysterious conk-outs and power losses. An easy fix if this is what it is. Sure sounds like it.
