1987 Chevy Nova 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

87 nova that is difficult to start if not been running daily. Once started it idles ok but when you drive is hesitates when giving it gas. Almost like a flat spot. Also when up to speed it "bucks". All filters, plugs and wire have been replaced. Carb kit was put on too. Could this be a timing issue?
