1972 mercedes 280se 4.5

did a bunch of work to the car, spark plugs, wires, change the points to per Tronics, stainless steel exhaust, king pin suspension, tires. It runs great but after a few minutes of driving it bogs out like the fuel filter is clogged or something. It idles fine but if I drive it and give it more than a quarter of a pedal, it starts to bog out. If I turn the car off and start it back up, it’s fine for a minute or so, and then bogs again. I really don’t know what could make this car drive good but then bog down, and then shut it down to run good again for a minute. I live in Fall River Massachusetts near the Rhode Island border

People who know the ins and outs of that era of fuel injection are rare - you might find one in a Benz forum, like this guy, who is having similar problems
