Okay its done this since right after I bought it.
It sat for a long time (like 10 years) without even being started before I bought it.
Anyway, after I start it let it warm up a min or so (would do more but usually run to work late) start down the road get into 4th and about 55mph and it kinda dies on its face then starts doing this jerky jerky jerky thing and will do it for about a half mile unless I mash the pedal down and run it up to 70mph, then it quits.

I thought the problem was with fuel delivery so I replaced the filter. That didnt help. Now Im wondering even though its got less than 90,000 miles on it if the IP is bad or something.
More and more I have started to notice that it misses a little or something as Im cruising along.
What do you guys think?

Im going to put a turbo on it so if its the IP what IP should I put on it? A 7.3 turbo IP or just a regular IP? What injectors? G's or regular ones?

Does sound like fuel supply, or IP to me.
