Check your carb float bowl adjustment, may be starving the car for gas.

I had the same problem about a year after my carb (Motorcraft 4300) was rebuilt. It could be the carb is simply worn out. Mine leaked gas and had a massive vacuum leak. No amount of rebuilding could save it.

There are a number of threads about carb replacement. For new some use Holley, others Carter.
