Default Sick Engine

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
