I don't know what to say??? But the car is just very shakey and mostly dies in the morning with first heat up. I have to depress the acceleration peddle to get the car started and working for at least 2 minutes till it picks up on it own. The bigger problem is that when the car gets more and more warmer the performance improves, but when it gets 'hot" the car starts to lose power and to hear a jiggling sound from the engine bay like as if it is coming from the pistons or something. like something is knocking each other. What could that be? And how to fix my problem.

You might want to check the exhaust to see if it is black. With a carb, the float could be bad and you may be dumping fuel into your engine, which will result in black smoke. Is your choke plate opening? When the engine warms a bit, the choke plate should be fully open.
Pulling the plugs is a good idea, as this will tell you a great deal on how it is running.
