1978 Chevy Monte Carlo V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 350 motor with less than 30000 miles that is stock with a 600 holley carb. when you stop at a stop sign, it idles rough. You open the 4 barrels at 30 miles per hr. and it stumbles before it goes but has no power. At 60 it won't excelerate any faster and if you try to make it, it falls on it's face until you let off the gas. Any suggestions?

Check the EGR and PCV valves, Ignition timing and vacuum leaks to include the fuel pressure
