Default engine will not run smoothly

I am in need of expert help. I have a 1953 ford with a flathead v/8, single Holley 94 carb. It starts and idles fine. When I give it throttle it dies. If I pull the choke about 2/3rd of the way it will run and accelerate fine. when I rev it up and I close the choke it wants to backfire and die. I have rebuilt the carb. Timing is spot on. Accelerate pump is working. It has Pertronix ignition with recommended coil and wires.
