Dave:
I thought about this one - but I reasoned that the engine would likely
break
up (start running ratty - missing, etc) as the mixture leaned out. Dennis'
note implied it ran fine, it just wouldn't rev any higher.
Let me state for the record, I have no experience with a restricted fuel
filter, so I am just saying that based on intuition. Does the car in fact
simply refuse to go any faster, with no other symptoms? Inquiring minds want
to know.

I think, therefore I go fast

Dennis;
Possibly a clogged fuel filter starving the carbs?

The car starts and idles fine, and runs in the low revs OK but will not run
over 4000 RPM. It just seems to choke - it made the long hills on I-81 in
Pennsylvania a real chore - I'd get going 75-80 mph at the bottom of the hill
and would barely be doing 55-60 at the top - it just wouldn't go any faster.
