Carb, Intake and Exhaust Manifolds

Tilly started backfiring, poor acceleration and clunking sound.  Didn’t sound like a piston rod, push rod, valve as plug pressures 120-150 psi. Sounded like intake or exhaust issue or carb.  Heck, on a 39 year old motor, could be anything.  None the less , taking apart the engine.  Hopefully we don’t have to open the entire engine.  Lots of sensors and vacuum hoses.  All of which could not be working well. And a manifold bolt was broken in the engine block.
