2 or 4bbl? If a 4bbl, check to see if the secondaries are working properly. Also on 2 or 4bbl, check to make sure the kickdown lever is working properly.
How about tune up? Have one recently? Is the carb tuned properly? How about the timing? There are alot of factors with a carbed car not running right.

Look around where the engine touches the transmission. You'll see the kickdown. See if you find this build interesting:
