above you wrote: "Before the A cam the '87 needed to be very carefully set up and timed to pass or merge onto the freeway, doing anything you want with the gearbox."

==================================================

so you had other probs with your 87 preCAM exch. I've got an 87 wagon w/M47. got it at 103K now 100K+ later. Never felt as you do about the underpower. Haul roof racked kayaks to and from the Mts in Western MD and YES I do pass cars trucks cruise at 80 in WVA, were the Limit is 75. Yes on steep grades I do have to downshift into 4th.

Never had or drove an Auto. Oddly I would have thought that you would be writing that the 92 Auto was the Slug.
