So this problem has been going on for the past couple of weeks. Basically when i'm accelerating in 3rd 4th and 5th gear, the engine sort of cuts out and putters for a second. Doesn't happen all the time put enough for me to notice every time i take it out for a drive. Maybe an uneven spark? maybe my dual carbs aren't properly synced?
Im a total noob at this, but the point of me getting this car was to learn how to work on it myself. So i turn to the world for advice. Where should i start looking for the problem? Can anyone help me out?

Check all spark plugs and spark plug leads they may be loose or poppoing off I had the same problem.

I had an oil leak about a month ago, you think oil could have dirtied the plugs? maybe causing an uneven spark
