Not a lot of difference - from 75 only available in 1300 and 1600 in L, XL and Ghia models. 2.0 litre models came out about 77 I think and the 1300 was dropped. Only the Ghia and RS were available with the 2.0L. The last MkII would have been 1980.

Im MkII there was:
75-76 there was the 1300 (L/XL) 1600GT (Ghia) in 76 they dropped the 1300 and the 1600 lost a fait bit of power due to emission controls 77 the 2.0L came in and was optional across the range with the 76> 1600 being standard. So a 77on 2.0L would be your best choice. Ghia and RS2000's have nicer interior than base models..

There's alot of info I didn't know...
Also, what year is it that you don't need EPA testing for vehicles made before that year? That's gotta be a big bonus for buying a pre 77 (I think it is?) Eski, if you're planning something wild. Tim |

After ADR 27A, the 1600 only managed to put out 46kw/110Nm, which goes to show what a big difference ADR 27A made, although not all of that power loss can be blamed on 27A, at the time Ford also dropped the compression ratio and changed from the dual-throat Webber to a single barrel motorcraft.
