Dennis;
Possibly a clogged fuel filter starving the carbs?

All went extremely well until about 100 miles from home. 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. I checked for the obvious (vacuum hoses disconnected, etc) but found nothing. My only theory so far is a possible carb problem (possibly a torn diaphragm in one carb?) but I can't get the car into the shop to check it out until next week. Any other ideas where to look? Thanks.
