could be low float level, low pump pressure/supply
blocked fuel filter
when cold the engine is running on choke setting which draws more fuel from the carby
when it is warm the choke is off and if you have a flat spot ( (sputter) , that indicates a lack of fuel or maybe a bad accelerator pump or power valve
if the carby is a holley then replace the power valve and overhaul the accelerator pump.
Check your accelerator pump. It's on the side of the carburetor, near where the fuel line enters. It costs about $10 to replace but it causes a lot of headaches.
I also have an '84 s10 which was recently converted to a Small Block v8. I had the same problems, only when I took my foot off of the accelerator and let the motor ride the gears down. Your backfiring may be coming from a slip in the motor timing belt.
First locate it. Then check for power. Some horns use the mounting bolt as a ground. Check this. A good ground is critical. Now if you have power and a good ground check the switch in the steering wheel. Last option is you may need a new horn. Try any auto parts store.
yes, probably the inline fuel filter on the carb, they use a small paper type filter that clogs up after awhile with junk from the gas tank. also your car will probably hold back if you try to accelerate hard, such as trying enter a freeway.........
