Same experience when I first got the Car. It was scary slow on the low end but once it got going it ran normal. I dreaded having to stop.

Apparently the former owner changed the lengths of the linkages. Use the correct manual and restore them to the factor specs.

Another thing that can cause it is if the part between the Pedal Linkage on the fire Wall and the Throttle linkage falls apart. It usually pulls out or the rubber cracks and breaks.
