If you car is a 76 1600 the pollution gear is very minimal on it, If i remeber correctly it will have a carbon canister with a couple of vacuum lines, not like the later 2 litre setup
As in your previous post on Radiators...maybe post a pic of the engine bay to work out if it has already been modified
tips....for just a little run about
fit 2 litre struts when you do your brake upgrade - later models have larger bore & inserts are easily found, Escorts like & handle well when they are a little lower and firmer
Being a ghia it should have the twin barrel weber carb - if not fit that with a set of extractors with a nice exhaust...nothing too big 2 inch would be heaps
with the age of the car I would be swapping out all the rubber bushes with nolathane
Then the list car start to from there.......get it going & on the road then look at swapping things over depending on what you want to do with it
quick rack, 1 piece tailshaft, adjustable strut tops, LSD, GT gearbox (close ratio - makes a huge difference), swap out the 1600 - the list could be endless.....
