You would have to look at the fuel tank and lines it appears that something is stopping the full amount of fuel coming through to your motor.

When's the last time you tuned the engine? Those engines used a quadra jet to which was a nusiance carburator anyway. Probably needs to be cleaned and rebuilt from poor maintainence! If it backfired the power valve is probably blown out. Check out the mechanical fuel pump pressure also and make sure you don't have ANY vacuum leaks (which includes the intake manifold)!

i would check fuel filter first. If I remember right it is right at the carb and only costs a couple dollars to replace.

have you checked the fuel line at the tank? it could be dry rotted and will suck air under pressure causing carb. to choke.
its a small rubber hose at the fuel tank.

Gas, Air or spark.
You need all of them.
Air is probably good.
Spark could be messed up with timing.
Gas is most likely the culprit.

The last time I had one do that it was the fuel filter.

check your airfilter. it requires more air for more rpm.
