Vacuum leak at the manifold base or under the carb, bent/cracked valve, bent pushrod(s), flat lobe on the cam, collapsed lifter probably exhuast, cracked/broken/holed piston, or a messed up spark plug from what you are saying.
if I could hear it, touch it and feel it run, it would be much easier to figure out what it is.
might not be that serious, but could be pretty bad.

I seriously doubt its the carb. Look into the valve train. Pull the valve cover off the side making the smoke and make sure all the rocker arms are moving the same amount, and contacting the valve tips when the valve is fully closed. There shouldnt be any gap between the valve tip and the rocker arm with a hydrualic lifter.
