sounds like its running out of air.this is common with 2-barrell carbs and little heads.does it spit and sputter at 5000 or does it just quit pulling at 5000

oh and also the motor is a little worn out smokes when you start it in the mourning.also runs fine in town runs smooth revs and takes off when i smash the gas,but its just in the higher speeds theat it runs like crap 65+mph it starts to lack power and shakes. if you guys need any more info let me know.

the only thing i can think of right now... is that if its not a stock ignition module, it may have rev limiter build in. when you accelerating when you hit 5 g does it feel like you hit a brick wall like a govener kick in?

no it trys but it takes a lot longer than it should it didnt all ways have this problem so i dont think its the ignition module.it starts to really slow down at 4600rpms and when it gets to 5 grand it sounds like it is trying but for some reason it just cant.

1: Timing is incorrectly set (not enough advance) Or Timing chain has play.

2: Carb is running out of fuel (fuel pump or filter) or an issue with float

3: engine can not breath (Cat, converter or smashed tail pipe)

4: Valve floating

5: Your secondary ignition (cap rotor wires) can not fire the plugs at the higher pressure cause by the higher load on the car.
