Anyone have any suggestions as to what this problem could be? It has gotten progressively worse over the past two years. The acceleration used to be fantastic when I would to take a corner or change lanes. But, now I can floor the pedal and there is noise but no power, almost as though it is cutting out. It used to happen only when I made a sharp turn but now it will cut out during a simple turn or if I let up on the gas and then resume pressure. The power/ acceleration resumes after a few seconds of no power (or inadequate power). I really am at a loss with this one, as I thought it was the carburetor, the spark plugs, or distributor cables but all have been replaced, as well as the air filter, so I am stuck in the dark. Thanks very much for time and help.

I have a question. Does the power steering pump appear to be functioning correctly and does it have the correct level of fluid in it?

The power steering pump is a good place to start. Also check the fuel level in the carb bowl - it should be halfway up the glass.
