lack of power

I just finished rebuilding my '65 dream and I'm haveing a serious lack of power. 1st and 2nd gear feel ok but once i hit 3rd it doesn't really want to do much and once i get to 50mph it's a real battle to get it any higher. the carb is tuned, timing is on, and compression is 120. Anyone have any suggestions, i'm not really sure where else to go hear. thanks, Derek

pretty much right at 90 degrees. another thing i forgot to mention (sorry) is that when i'm in forth gear and just cruisin along the RPMs seem to just jump up.
