I know when my duster did this, I tried different gas and it started doing the same thing yours does. I replaced everything and got nowhere. I drained the fuel and replaced with THE GOOD STUFF, and changed the plugs and she was back to normal. Oh and I drive my 9sec car on the street and it will not hook anywhere, let alone the fact you got no idea where a car may be pulling out of. Being a cop I have seen my share of crashes and I hate having to go tell wife, mom , dad and or kids that their loved one is dead cause they didn't want to spend $100 bucks on fuel, entry and food. Just not worth it IMO...
I was wondering if the fuel I got had been sitting in the ground for a while. I mean gas is expensive and I wonder if the 93 had been there a while or the tank was low. My dad said that his truck started running real bad after a fill up...he went nuts trying to fix it and it got better all of a sudden when he re-filled it at another station???

I would assume the car drives real nice with radials on it. Going to a bias is gonna make it drive like crap like my car. Yes my Q.T. Pro's do hook on the street. But I will also be switching to E.T. street radials when mine are worn out.

I wouldn't rule out bad fuel just yet. I've had bad VP that acted like what you are experiencing.
I also had a bad alternator on my Challenger that was doing the same thing. Took me about 3 weeks to get that one nailed down. Replaced everything BUT the alternator.
Good luck!
ouch. I'll drain the fuel out and use it in the lawn mower.

Wondered if anyone was going to mention this. Same problem I had. Pulled hard up to about 110-115 then would start breaking up. Replaced the almost new points and condenser in the Accel dist., new plugs, checked floats in carbs, etc. I was ready to pull my hair out and mentioned to my Dad the problem I was having. "Have you checked the battery and charging system?" Bingo. Bad alternator.

pretty sure it's good, but I'll double check everything.
