i would change the cap condensor points and rotor arm as they arnt too dear and would also change fuel filter if it has a inline one.i had problem with a capri holding back under load and after changine all the plugs and points and dizzy cap it turned out to be the crappy plastic inline filter getting clogged up with crap.

also try points and rotor arm aswell as distributor cap and condenser

Just a quick intro,over the years ive always had capris mainly 2.8s and 3.0s,and after many years of not owning an old ford,ive managed to get another one at a steal of a price,my friend has had a 3.0s 1982 in black sat in his garage for over 10 years but has always been started and moved about,there was a on goin joke between me and him that every time i saw him i would say when you gonna sell me that old capri so i can do something with it,anyway a few weeks we got talking about his capri and he said he would sell it to me,so i was thinking this is gonna cost me over 500 pounds easy,then he said i just want it to go to good use and see it back on the road again and that i can have it for 50 pounds,well after i picked my self back up of the floor i bit his hand of and am collecting it hopefully this week.this will make number 14 in the capri stakes for me,and plan on keeping this one.im after various parts for it and hopefully you guys can help sorry for long winded intro.
