Check the accelerator linkage to see if has any broken, bent or binding parts. Could even be a broken motor mount putting things in a bind when engine torques.

X2 on ck the carb linkage for a problem and look for something catching on the bottom side of the air filter. Did you put a chrome one on it? You might need a spacer to raise it back up.

And ck the throttle return spring, you can put one inside another to get a lot more tension.

Does it have an elec choke?

If it was front end collision you could have moved the firewall and throttle linkage back slightly without the motor moving back creating a bind .. adjust the rod length accordingly .. Was the hood moved back?

Have you actually opened the hood to investigate yourself?
