Car won't run past 60mph

make sure you are getting full throttle....
Really !
x2. I saw this exact problem on a TV show a while back. The car (70 Vette if I remember) was falling on its face at about 60. As it turned out, with the pedal to the floor, there was a good 1/2 inch more carb linkage travel needed to be at full throttle. Sounds like good advice.
