I've experience this twice now...during some spirited driving and at high rpms, as the engine pulls towards redline, but before redline, I got engine hesitation, as if it was going to cut out...something like fuel starvation. It happened the first time in 2 gear, and then tonight at 4th gear. The car drives strong otherwise. It is not like my clutch is slipping. I got 56K miles now. Any similar experiences or ideas is much appreciated. Thanks again!

Yes it was before redline...and I've redlined before without hitting the rev limiter...
maybe it time for a tune-up since I'm approaching 60K?

Check your distributor caps and rotors, and while you in there, have a close look at the distributor belt condition. Perhaps some cross firing due to carbon build-up inside the dizzy caps?
