Motor running like crap....

So i went out to start my truck annually to keep the battery all charged up, and i noticed that she aint runnin quite right. When ever i punch it in park or in gear it will spit and spudder and lag before it speeds up rpm wise.

It has had a recent carb rebuild and i fiddled around with the moving the distributor back and forth trying to fix this, any ideas?

P.S. its a 351m mated to a C6 with performer intake and some headers with a Holley 4bbl.

Sounds like the carb is stopped up, the fuel we get now goes bad very quickly and will stop up a carb if it sits without running for more than a month.
