sluggish on take off
I have an 84 12A gsl and from a standing start, it doesn't matter if i slowly apply gas or punch it, the car creeps along, SLOWLY picking up speed. It doesn't seem like the clutch is slipping, more like if you tried to start in 2nd or 3rd gear. Any ideas?

Make sure that you still have spark on your leading plugs...
