I remember either Motor Trend or Car and Driver drove one of those at 55MPH and got 73MPG when it was new.
I bought an 84 new, made in July 1983. It was serial number 1018.
The problem is the spaghetti factory of vacuum lines, switches, servos, and all the issues with them and the carburetor.
They were slow, with 0-60 times of 13.5 seconds, the 1.5 I got was good for 44 MPG and I was not trying to drive it as efficiently as I would today, but it would do 0-60 in about 10 seconds.
If you are patient you might get it back to OE operational condition, but it will certainly be a challenge.
