There are many things that cause the engine to act like it has a rev
limiter.
a) already mentioned - incorrect voltage
b) I've heard a bad coil does this, but I've never experienced it first hand
c) plugged fuel filter
d) anything else?
I've seen c) and I've suspected a), but I couldn't prove it.
BTW, I posted on the Space City list, but not on this one... I disassembled
by fuel lines today. I removed the AN line right before the filter, and
about a thimble full of rust came out. That's not what I was expecting.
Luckily I have a large racing filter. If you have one of those small clear
filters, and if you have rust in your tank like I do, you likely have a
plugged filter.

If the coil is designed for 12V but is supplied via a ballast resistor or
ballast wire you could have this sort of problem.
Have fun today,

Installed a MSD drop-in distributor and initially had it hooked up to a
Mallory ignition system coil. It would run up to 5500 RPM then flat line
like it had a rev limiter. Slowly RPM backed down to 5000RPM Friend
gave me
a "old" MSD II coil to try. It is flat lining now at 4500 RPM. Have a
new
coil on order. If that fails, anyone have an idea what it could be?
