The only thing that comes to my mind is that you can take the air cleaner element out and allow a little bit more air into the engine. If your air cleaner is old and dirty, this might help enough. Don't you have technicians around there who can do a fuel/air measurement and tweak the carburetor for you? All it takes is an engine analyzer, which most well equipped shops will have. Failing that, perhaps you can put the car into Non-Operational status for the next 6 months, and just wait it out. Some folks have to do that here in CA once in a while.
