no go

I have an 86 f150 4 spd I put an aftermarket manual choke on the carb. when I granny gear it around town it handles ok, but if I'm going down the highway at speed, it kicks ,spits, and bucks like it's gonna just collapse, I've got the rpm set to 850, the choke is useless, I ran a compression test and it has good compression, so the only thing I cam think is vacuum, but where to start? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
