I think it has to do with my carb

My car is running really bad, I have no power at all. I accelerate and there is no pull and I have to reall really gradually press the accelerator or it seems as if my engine chokes or the gas just shuts off. I know I have an 82 T/A with a carbed 305, but I know it has more power than that. I'm not sure what it could be but I thought it might be my carb and one of you guys can help me out. It also recently started to diesel when I shut it off...that most likely is the timing though, right? Well any help would be appreciated to diagnose my problem and then some tips on fixing it if possible. Thanks
