Exclamation 190d - can't be this slow! 0-60mph in 30 seconds!! help please - fuel / IP prob?

Yes folks I am speaking the truth!

I know the 190d (referring to 1984 190d 2.2L - auto -) is supposed to be a dog, but can it really be this slow?

163k miles

More info:
-diesel purge recently
-both fuel filters are brand new
-changed o-rings and copper seals on delivery valves (problem the same before and after this)
-car idles great, never spudders...

I also know the car is rated at 0-60mph around 19-20 seconds. My car was filled with at 1/4 tank of fuel, just me in the driver's seat, and no other added weight.

Coudl the timing be off? Could there be something wrong with my fuel pump/ injection pump?

I guess what i'm asking for is:

1) is this the way the car should be?--and live with it?

2) where should I start checking things out? could a vacuum leak cause this...or a vacuum pump on the way out?

3) injection pump? Maybe clogged injectors? My injectors do not leak.

4) injection timing could be off?

5) chain is stretched?

Any help in diagnosing this would be most beneficial.

Thanks in ADVANCE!
