Question Knocking- loss of power

Im new to the model As. I have a 1931 model a Tudor. I drove it 15 miles did fine. Started it up to head back, started off it was sluggish and backfired. Chugged down the road and ended up just getting worse to the point the car wouldn’t really move. It has a knocking sound in the back of the motor. I noticed the carburetor is spitting fuel mixture out as well. I have put a few hundred miles on it before this. Points are fine re-did the timing, new spark plugs. Any ideas on what it could be? Any advice is appreciated. I have a video but it won’t upload to this site. Says missing a security token.

For video, post it on You-tube than add a link to your post. Suggest cut and paste this post and ask on the Model A forum page. Knock could be any number of things such as bearings, miss adjusted timing etc.
