If you've got a stock fuel and ignition system, even with a tuneup and at
peak performance you're talking about an engine rated at 64 hp (according to
the owner's manual for my '81).  Couple that with an automatic, and you've
pretty much got the gutless wonder. Mine has a new-ish 2.0 motor with "big
valve" heads, Weber carburetion and a four-speed manual. I don't have any hp
figures, but it pulls strong through all the gears and STILL is pretty
dadgum slow. Factor in that I live in Oklahoma, where the wind comes
sweeping down the plains, so half the time I'm pushing enough air that  it
takes WFO to keep momentum up on the highway...
