  Sounds to me like the plugs could be cutting out.  That's the first thing I 
would do; change the spark plugs.

    Right before you shift from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th, the bus jerks at the 
end of the rpm spectrum. I don't have a tach in it but at around 25 mph (in 
2nd) the bus jerks then I shift to 3rd it's ok until I get ready at 35 to 40 
mph shift to 4th, same thing happens, bus jerks , pulsates....


    The other day on the highway it started doing this at 55 mph in 4th.... 
Freaked me out. I've changed the coil, spark plug wires twice and still same 
symptoms. Running an SVDA with a compufire it in, could the compufire be going 
out? I think these things will just fail.
    I'm sure everyone is out in their buses today enjoying beautiful weather, 

    I'm trying to get ready for Spicewood. 

    any suggestions please let me know. I did take the pict 34 off a few weeks 
ago and cleaned it up, blew out all the jets and all that..Plus took the fuel 
pump and cleaned the screen and installed a new fuel filter.
