By "cuts out", do you mean it dies on you while driving? If so, does it start right up and drive ok, or does it take some time/tinkering to get it going again?

Spark plugs and a fuel filter are the only things that ever slowed my 300 straight six down. That is my favorite engine. I wish it were still available.
