225 Dauntless Lost power

Hey everyone,
I need help once again. This time my 1970 CJ5 with a Dauntless 225 is losing power. It starts and runs fairly good. It takes a little warming up up then it idles like a dream. I went out of town for a week and when I got back and fired it up the first time it backfired a bit. When I drove it it had no power.
I have noticed that the oil pressure is a staying down around 40. Normally it would get up to around 60 while driving. that could be because of the loss of power. Another thing is backfiring when I first start it up.
I am a newbie when it comes to mechanics. If it were not getting spark or gas I could troubleshoot something. With this issue I am lost. My first guess is a fule air mixture. Please help.
Thanks,
KC
