I had the same problem with my carb'd 383 in my Monte. It was a blown intake manifold gasket. That's why when you sprayed car cleaner it almost died, because it sucked the carb cleaner through the blown gasket and right into the cylinders.
Not the worst thing in the world, at least it's not a head gasket problem.
