Hello! I have problems with my 400 in ma satellite 66. When i pull full throtthle it start backfiring and bog. Engine stops.
 
Sounds like its running out of fuel. Check the float levels and fuel pressure.
 
Could be the fuel pump pushrod?

Seemed OK at first and got worse following a few throttle shots.
 
Maybe a broken valve spring?
It's a little rough but we don't know what cam is in it.

Could be a rotor phasing problem as well...
 
It sounds rough( at idle, not good). Comp test, timing check, idle/ revved up. And as mentioned vacuum leaks.
Is the pcv hooked up or plugged?
 
I'd look and see if the rear accelerator pump is working well
