It could very well be the fuel pump not pumping enough to keep the bowl full
at that constant rpm.

Here we go.
finally decided to go for a trip; after an hour into it car would loose
power
@ 2700 rpm or 56mph, back off to 50 mph 0r 2000 and can climb back to 56.
If
I come to a stop, its ok going back up the gears, i can accelerate back up
to
60 and then it starts dying out again .  So I turned around and came home
traveling between 50 & 56.  once I got in town, the cars ok because its stop
&
go and never having to maintain a constant 55.
I have petronix electonic ignition.
I banged on the carbs to see if float was stuck.
Anyone have any ideas.  carbs,fuel pump, ignition????
Not sure where to start.
thanks
