I just bought an 82 Chevette.  It has automatic transmission.
The car is extermely sluggish.  I was wondering if the problem could be easily
fixed.

I would like to clean the injectors for a start.  Is there any gasoline 
additive that will do this for me.

The car has been recently tuned up and the sparks pulgs and fuel filter are
new.  The timing is presumably o.k.  and there are no points to set.

I am not asking for performance like a Saab but what can I do to accelerate to
60 mph while going uphill.

Thanks for your help.  I would appreciate a copy of the stuff you post being
mailed to me directly as I cannot read the net daily.
