Your 87 760 and 91 740 share the cowl design. The 89 760 shares its "no-cowl" design with the 960 and 940SE. Hidden wipers. Very '80s. Ooh.
The car should have ABS brakes. The big ol box under the hood is the control unit- it's like an aluminum cube with all the brake lines going to it. Faults with that system often originate from dirty front wheel sensors.
The engine is basically a regular B230FT but being a 1989, ought to have Turbo Plus from the factory. This is supposed to allow higher boost and more power.
The fuel injection is still LH 2.2 in 1989 turbos. There will be a connector for the hall sensor on the bottom of the dist. Be careful around it- that is the failure point for this generation of cars. Your 87 has the same dist. The 91 does not- no pickup in dist, instead crank-triggered LH 2.4 in that car.
You don't need to worry about wheel offset till you get to late 960's. All the 740, 760, 940 take the same wheels.
And like the others mentioned, get a spare key made AWAP. If that key either breaks or wears to the point that it doesn't turn right, getting the column apart to fix things is a nightmare. That car has the milled keys basically like an 850 key, and normal key shops arent set up to copy them.
Good luck with it and I hope the climate control works!
