Default lack of power

Hey, the short little time that I drove my car (about 1.5 hours after driving, we felt it was not the safest thing driving with such little brake power as well as super cracked wheels) the car seemed to have little pep and stalled while stopped at a light. My friend then towed the car home where I parked it.

I am hopeing to work towards this problem. Barring any internal mechanical issues, what would you guys suggest.

What I am doing at the moment is spark plugs, wires, air cleaner (the idle really picked up if the air cleaner was removed, but it wasn't driven with it off). Out of these I am thinking the new cleaner will make the significant difference.

Afterwards, I am thinking to check the timing, and adjust the carb screw, replace cap/rotor, coil.

Could there be a vacuum leak causing this issue too?
