I can't tell too much with my crappy computer speakers, but it sounds like your valves are pretty noisy (need adjustment). I'm sure others will chime in here with loads more experience than me.
Pelican Parts has a pretty good "How To" on this: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9...alve_adjust.htm |

Can't hurt to make sure the valves are correct.
What year is the car? Charcoal canister in the back makes me think 75 or 76. Make sure all of the exhaust connections are good. If it is a 75 1.8, then you need make sure you have no air leaks too. |
