from what you've told me, it sounds like the carb, personaly I don't trust rebuilt carbs from shops that can't introduce me to guy rebuilding them( I do my own). One more thing to check, see if the distributor is advancing, put the timing light on it and rev it up, it shoudl advance at least 10-15 degrees or so. Pull the cap off and turn the rotor, it should turn one direction and spring back, if not, its aperfect time to pull the point plate to inspect teh advance springs(and replace it with a pertronix). try ebasicpower.com for the coversion kit, shoot me an email if you have any questions about it... One other thing, pull the fuel filter and make sure someone didn't put it in backwards, the open end should face teh nut.
