    Buddy of mine had a similar problem recently, engine would not rev high, that turned out to be a bad mechanical advance in the distributor. Worth checking before tearing down the engine.

    Yep that is possible too. Can you put a timing light with adjustable advance type gun and watch the timing to see what it does? Also you dont have vac advance do you? 

    Are the valve springs weak or maybe a broken one on the inak valve or valves?
