Don't give up hope yet! Taking off the emissions control may have caused various vacuum leaks. A bitch these are to find!! The best way to find a vacuum leak is to spray carby cleaner (Carefully) around the intake components. If there is a leaky gasket on your carb, an unplugged nipple(hehe.. nipple), a cracked vacuum hose etc, it will suck in the cleaner, and the engine revs will rise. Also as said before by the chuckster checking vac. advance, the correct actuation of your secondaries and choke and adjust your mixtures is a damn good plan. Also, check your compression.

It may be worth taking your car to someone who is still aware of the existence of carbs. While it is more expensive than doing it yourself, they can test the compression and tell you what condition your rings/head are in, and they can give you a damn good tune.
