Hi Everyone,
I have been chasing a problem with my 75TR6 for a couple of years. At
highway speeds I often lose about 1/3 of my horsepower and can barely hold 60
MPH with the peddle to the floor. I have a new fuel pump and filter, coil,
ignition wires, vacuum lines, etc., and opening the gas cap doesn't help.
The response below interested me because I suspect my fuel lines but at idle
the fuel pressure is above spec. (5 psi if I remember right). Is it possible
that I have a partially blocked line that only impacts the fuel pressure at
higher levels of fuel flow?

I had almost the identical problem in my TR6 and after much ado it
was....drum roll please.
A clogged fuel line. The metal line running up the car from the tank had
more crap in it than I could imagine. Check it out! I replaced mine with a
"temporary" run of regular fuel line and it ran great.
Good luck
