Sounds likk it is missing real bad.Has it ever been tuned up?Also check for vacuum leaks on theengine, they will make ahissing sound.Yopu cancarefully spray aroung theintake area with carb cleaner , if the engine changes you have found a vacuum leak.Also check the big rubber boot from the air cleaner to the engine for any cracks, if there are any it needs to be replaced.If all ok and it shakes, have a compression test done onit to be sure the engine is good.
