Loss of power

Has anyone else had this problem or could tell me some trouble shooting tips...

I bought my 87 Iroc with a 305 and drove it for about two weeks and everything was great (except for what I knew I already needed to fix, mostly with suspension). Then, during the third week of owning this car, I noticed a loss in power and the engine doesn't sound as strong coming out of the tail pipes.

I have a Valve Cover Gasket that I have to replace, but would that cause it or should I be looking at other things as well?

If there is not a check engine light on then I would start with basic tune up stuff. Plugs,wires,cap&rotor.
