My 1980 Cheovrolet scottsdale has a 283 cid in it. I put it in the local shop for inspection and when i got it out it was unbelievably underpowered. It starts and idles fine but when driving has no power and when i push on the throttle it bogs down. It can barley get going faster then 60 KM. I replaced all the fluids, clean the fuel lines, cleaed the carborator, and replaced all the spark plugs. nothing fixes it and the problem is getting worse.

Take it back to that shop, see if they knocked off a vacuum hose...or left any electrical connectors unpluged.
