78 bronco carb issue maybe?

Hey all I just bought a 78 bronco and this thing is sweet. Drove it about two weeks before it broke down due to an incredibly Rusty gas tank and I just replaced that. Last night I was driving down the highway doing 70 just fine and then she decided she didn't want to run that fast I guess and it sounded like it was either running too rich or lean. I wasn't able to get up to 55mph but at 45 off the interstate I was doing fine. I'm young and dumb and don't know much about carbs so please help. Also check out my other thread, I plan on ditching the carb when I gather the parts needed to do a MAF conversion and need some advice. Thabks

start with a fuel filter first. if any of that rust and other stuff went to the carb then the filter might be plugged. all the other stuff too like ignition condition plugs wires dist.
