no power

i just got a 1988 ford mustang(2.3L v4) and it seems to signifigantly lack power. It accelerates extremely slowly uphill. I'm not sure what it could be from. any help woud be greatly appreciated. thanks

could it be that you aren't used to the new car? the 88 4 cylinder isn't exactly nimble. are there any symptoms besides a general disappointment in power?
