ok, i finally got my truck running and registered, but i've got a new problem now. whenever i get up to over 35-40mph the truck sputters, backfires a lot and then it dies if i cant keep it running by pumping the gas and putting it in neutral, its acting like its getting too much fuel, but i thought i fixed this problem by tuning the carb, but apparently that wasnt the problem, also it sounds like it loses spark when it happens. i've checked all the plug wires,coil connections. when i pull to the side of the road and let it sit for a few minutes it starts right up and drives fine until i get up to speed again. if anybody has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated, thanks
