I have had this problem several times after I have cleaned the engine.  I
believe the problem was due to some moisture in the distributor.  It would
run fine until I started to produce boost and then it would start bucking
until I backed down on the boost.  It would take a couple of days to dry out
and then it ran fine.  Haven't cleaned the engine in a long time to avoid
the problem.
