I am considering purchasing a 1982 380 SEC. The car seems to be in wonderful condition but my only question is this, there seems to be a delay in acceleration from a standing start. As if the stall speed of the torque converter is too high. Is this just a characteristic of this drivetrain? Any insight would be appreciated.
had the same problem my 83 sec. get 2 large cans of carb. cleaner. remove the air intake plate and start spraying. the gas over the years gum-up the intake and plates. almost-you have single row timing chain-not good.
