Unhappy Stuttering while accelerating, NEED SOME ADVICE >>>

Okay, my '79 just started doing this yesterday. It's like it is stuttering when i accelerate. I really dont know how to describe it, but it feels like the car loses power for a split second when I accelerate. This is the first time this has ever happened, and i dont know what it could be...

MAYBE the negative battery cable is just loose? ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Start with the basics. You need to go through the whole tuneup check before jumping to any conclusion as to what it is. Pull the cap and rotor to check, then the plugs. If anything looks bad replace it, and if it's a ugly plug replace them all.
I none of the ignition looks bad, then you will have to dig into the carb to see if it's time or a rebuild there.
Always start with the simple, cheap, easy stuff, then work towards the harder/more expensive things.

Sounds like an easy fix.
