Some things to check

With a front end collision, I would check vacuum advance to see if it is functioning properly. Maybe a vacuum line came loose or broke. Possibly another injury to spark advance. Otherwise, check the vacuum and see what it does at 4000 rpm. If it drops like a rock, you probably have back pressure from a plugged exhaust.

Maybe a replaced part was the wrong one for your car? Like an ignition unit for a four cylinder rather than a 6 cylinder, that would limit the revs. Someone more knowledgeable may be able to confirm this.

Exactly. I discovered this years ago when I revved the motor while idling in the driveway. Rpm-limited at 4K...
