I don't know, but sounds like you already took the advice I'd give... :D

Like that saying..."Doc my arm hurts when I do this..."
Doc says "Then don't do that."

:D

It sounds like you're losing too much manifold vacuum when you do that. The brake booster requires intake vacuum and with opening the throttle wide open, all of the vacuum is lost and of course the motor runs like crap because the carb isn't running working correctly. You might be wise to go thru the entire motor looking for air leaks. The brake booster might be a leak source.
