First, are you sure that it's a 400 in that car? In '79 the only TA's that came with the 400 had standard transmissions. The 301 was available, as was the 403 Olds with the auto. The SBC may also have been available in the TA that year, but don't quote me on that one.
Second, if you are serious about buying the car, take it to a good mechanic, and have them go over the car. Tell them that you are considering buying the car. They should be able to tell you exactly what the problem is.
Does the car lack power in other ranges also, or just from a standing start? Who did the work on the trans to add the "power pak"? How is the trans fluid level? What gears does it have?
