Where did my power go?

A year ago, my car randomly bogged down and lost power, and then would never start. It was the beginning of winter so i left it sitting there not running for months. Then I unflooded it, and put oil in the rotor, and it started up. Now it runs but it has like half the power. It i try to burn out, If i give it half throttle it sqeaks a little, but put it to the floor and it bogs right down. Other than that it has been running fine up until about a week ago where i now have to unflood it every morning before it will start and it still has no power. Where did my power go. Should i change the spark wires? I've changed the plugs... what should i do?

It's probably something silly.. Change the fuel filter and air filter. Plug wires are never a bad idea.. Also, make sure the timing is right on.
