iposted before but thought i'll start fresh again sorry. but yeah ma 83 4ac sprinter seems to be having trouble at accelerating past 80kms instead the car just seems to not make power wit ma foot hard on the pedal. I thought it would be electrical so i replaced the spark plugs, the leads and distributor cap (dirty as) and they helped all in a different way but the car still seems to be no making power at 80kms and even less kms at times. can sumone please help me!. also i'm just wondering the points and the ignition coils are the last things left on ma list could these be the problems??? thanks

given a long enuff straight going downhill a 4ac will crack that 80k/hr brick wall 
nah seriously dude try the fuel filter they are like $3 just get one! check the air filter, '83 hmmm they have a cat converter? just wondering if maybe thats collapsed inside and is creating a blockage. check the compression in yur cylinders. not sure wot the compression should be sumthing like 160-170psi. Check ur plugs to make sure they're not shagged, also check yur timing is right.
other than that take it to a mechanic
or time for a 4age swap
