Okay, with the info at hand let's move ahead.
When you tell me that you have no power from a dead stop that takes us to a differrent realm.
First this 83 T-Bird was made and still condidered a "moderate MUSCLE car" and should spin them 13" 100 spokes with no hesitation.
Next in 1983 Ford put a carberator on this model that has serious problems in damp weather. I can e-mail the recall info if you want!
So is your car running in primarily DAMP weather?
Next when was the last full major tune up?
I would suggest before you spend a dime first get a flash light and take the distributor cap off (leave the wires on) and use the flash light to take a look at the six copper metal leads inside the cap. (be careful and replace the cap exactly and make sure the cap is seated properly when you close it.)
You shouls see one of the following 1.)Six Bright clean copper or aluminum leads. or 2.) Dirty, fouled, black leads and sometimes from long wear a carbon build up with black dust every where.
About the carb., I'll wait to hear if your primary weather is damp or not.
