1930 CCPU 29 Motor 12volt

I was driving home from work at 45MPH when I lost all acceleration and the engine started to bog down. Within 100 yds I had lost all power and the engine died despite me having the accelerator to the floor. It started back up, but when I advanced the spark it died again. I got it started again by keeping the spark fully retarded, but when I put it in gear and let out the clutch it died again. I started it again, but this time it backfired, died and would not start again. Please forgive me in advance for any stupid questions, I'm still new to this. I am currently searching the archives, but any help in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks

(I drove it to work the last 3 days and it ran like a champ up until the problem above)
