Need some advice and things to check for.

My 31 Rdstr isn't running well. Lack of throttle response, backfiring through the carb. Necessary to have GAV open almost a full turn in order to get engine to run smooth. Last time I drove it best speed was 35 MPG with throttle to the floor. Starts good. What should I be checking?

Thanks in Advance for your thoughts
