Possibly coil or ignition module,common place thing if the ignition module is still on the distributor,they make a kit to relocate it to the firewall ,this was a call back on many ford 460 motors ,ignition module heats up, truck,van or motorhome, runs like poop. Coil does the same thing heats up ,runs like poop.I think ,unless it was relocated from the banks install,it is mounted on the drivers valve cover and gets very hot!!also when a computer fails they get weird too

another thing that i've seen this in the shop on cars with built up motors, is air intake tempature.... if you're taking air in right from the engine compartment, it can get hot enough to make the computer give a lean condition... if this is the case, you can pipe your intake to suck from a cooler spot such as from under the motorhome or someplace else with moving air, if you do run it under the vehicle make sure it wont suck up water when it rains.... a cold air intake is one thing the rice boys have right.... but even then we had it before they did... its called a hoodscoop
