Default Is it my engine or something else?

I have a 1986 dodge d250 that runs like it just came off the showroom. It's quiet for a 360, but I'm not complaining. However, lately it has lost it's giddy up and go.

I'm trying to figure out why, but the 0-60 time is substantially slower than it was a week ago. I don't have it tuned for anything, it's all stock, except for the edelbrock preformer series carb.
