Some of you guys are talking valves, head studs etc. While they may also be an issue, it seems pretty clear that if the car can't run above idle (900-1100 rev's), then the problem is with the fuel injection or even perhaps the distributor. An SC motor with a bad valve or broken head stud will still accelerate beyond idle albeit with less power, leak oil and blow smoke...
