Another thought: If the ignition timing does not advance past 25-30 the engine can't run very fast. Check with timing light and advance the throttle to 2000 RPM or so. The timing should advance well past 30 every time. I had an intermittent failure of the ignition computer just like this problem. A new ignition computer was quoted at about $300 but a used one was $50 to $75. It solved my problem on '83 245.
