CM '84 Cross-fire engine

My engine shakes around 50mph. Feels like it wants to sputter out. I was hoping somebody could give me some ideas to what it might be.

Thanks,

Chris

Not on so little data.

Pull any codes? Check spark? Check fuel?

Have to checked your air filter and air paths?

How does your cap and rotor look? Plug wires?

It started it just didnt stay on until i changed fuel filter and pump. I dont think its electric. i have a feeling it is either gas or air pathway.
