Ford Crossflow 1.6 bits
Discussion
Evening all,
Hope everyone is enjoying their bank holiday weekend? I'm going to do some maintenance on my Fisher Fury and see if I can get it out and about soon! First things first it could do with a little bit of a service. It has a 1977 Ford 1.6 Crossflow engine with twin carbs.
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of what oil to get (I know a lot is based on personal opinion but wanted to get a general idea), what oil filter and what spark plugs. I'll probably nip to Halfords tomorrow so if anyone can find the bits from there that would be great! I know I could probably get the numbers from parts already on it but just wanted to see what other have used.
Also as a side note, it has a current MOT but I'm curious as to the rules on emissions come that magic time again. Would it still be judge by today's Co2 standards or would it be based on a visible smoke test, or is it best that I make a new best friend in my local garage?
Cheers,
Kev

Awesome thank you sir!
Got myself some bits today, but my local Halfords only had Bosch so I picked up some WR7DC+ which seemed to be the same size and fit fine. Not fired it up yet but hopefully they'll be ok!
Got the 20/50 oil and a filter that hopefully fits so all being we'll she'll be back on the road soon enough! Funnily enough the guy behind the counter asked me what car it was for, told him it was a Fisher Fury at which point he said he'd never heard of them before! Told him neither had I till I saw one on eBay!
