I can think of three things that you could try.

1. Autolite 3922s (one range colder than the 3923s.

2. I can't recall what region of the country you are in but, if it doesn't get
      too cold (say not below 10F), remove the antifreeze/water coolant from
      the rad and replace with water (distilled preferred) and Redline Water
      Wetter (or a similar type of product).

3. Clean the combustion chambers by either spraying water down
      the throttle body while the engine is idling or using a combustion
      cleaner product that's put into the gas tank (e.g. TKO 2000 made
      by KleenFlo).

HTH.
