Vehicle has 127000 miles has not been driven for 2 years. Car will start and run but will not stay running after warming up. If gas pedal is feathered it backfires through the carburetor. Have replaced plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Also have rebuilt carburetor. Checked all vacuum lines and electrical connections.

Could have some stale gas in the gas tank, Could buy a fuel stablizer, Or water remover cleaner product, Or add some more fresh gas to the tank, Also I would replace the fuel filter and air filter as well.

Good Luck.
