[DeTomaso] OK, now what did I screw up?

Charles, I agree with postings saying this must be related to secondaries.
First, is it getting too much or too little fuel at WOT? Can you drive at
WOT so it dies? Then pull over and take out plug, is it wet with fuel or
bone dry? I guess bone dry. 

Secondaries probably open as they should, but either the secondary float
level is too low or secondary acc pumps done work. Both can be tested with
car standing still. See float level through window at idle, and check acc
pump squirt with mirror with engine not running. Adjust/repair.

If these things are OK, then it could be some goo/sand/dirt thing somewhere,
use carb cleaner and compressed air all over secondary part of carb.
