Car running rough

This is the car that I posted questions about bringing out of storage a few
weeks ago. After getting all the bad gas out of the system it was running
great and I had been driving it to work. Today on the way to work it started
bucking and backfiring as I was driving down a hill about ten minutes into
the drive. I pulled over and checked everything I could while it was sitting
there. It restarted right away and was running real rough. Another check of
the engine compartment showed bubbles in the fuel filter between the fuel
pump and the carb. As I was noticing this, the engine smoothed out and since
I was only 5 min from work, I got in and finished the drive with no
problems. The problem resurfaced again on the way home. Again after about
ten min. Letting the engine idle until it smoothed out again only got me
another two to three minutes of drive time before it started again. The
sequence was repeated three times to get home. I checked the timing and
electrical stuff that I could while it was hot. Will check the valves in the
morning. Any one have any ideas of other stuff to look for? Any ideas what I
might be facing?
