1997 Ford 460 ignition

since last week, ive been experiencing engine 'run while driving' problems

it starts great, then will NOT accelerate properly, or hesitates, bogs etc..

it started right after i filled the gas at my regular stop

after (2) days of this i added a can of sea foam

and things started improving over the course of several days

this morning it was 'slow' again, i went to gas up and filled up with premium , NOW its back firing and acting even worse

the questions i have are multiple

1997 bounder F53 chassis, 460 CuIn
where are the fuel filters, i can't find them

where are the ICM and EEC MODULES located i can't find them either
all the chassis manual says i have them

i'm thinking filters first and electronic modules 'next'
might be a good idea to get them and have them on hand
even IF not needed at this time

Onan generator is running fine, so i really don't think its a continuing fuel issue, although there could be contamination in the bottom of the tank, below the genny pickup, which has clogged the drive engine fuel filters
i was leaning heavy toward fuel issue until the backfiring started

part numbers and locations needed
and advice
thank you
