1.) If you don't know what you are doing rebuilding a Q-Jet you probably made a few mistakes. Even seasoned car guys trash Qjets because they can be hard to tune or work with. I'm not going to say run to a Holley, but this establishes that your carb is an issue.
2.) You had a big vacuum leak. If you tried to tune it with the open line you need to redo your tune.
3.) The vacuum advance that I am speaking of can help your car run cleaner. Make sure there is a vacuum line running to your carb.
If you can, take a couple pics and post them up. And some more info about the underhood setup would help.

i didnt do the rebuild, my dad is a general foreman over at NJ transit, he had one of his machinists that used to be a car machinist rebuild it, he said he has rebuilt many cars and carbs lol so i trust him, he just said that the rebuild kit itself did help alot although alot of the internal workings looked pretty worn, and my friend's dad tuned the carb for me, the vacuum leak we found when we brought it home from NYC, those bennies just dont know how to take care of cars lol
