Keep in mind that Gerald Ford probably would not have picked Paul Volcker as Fed chairman, so the problems with inflation might have continued until the mid-1980s or so.
Ford also would likely have not picked William Miller either, Carter's first appointment as Fed chair, and such a disastrous one Carter had to name him as Treasury Secretary to get him out of the way so he could appoint someone else. He had much better luck with Volcker, but not enough to win a second term.
Hopefully Ford would not reappoint Burns, as he was almost as bad as Miller. Possibly he would have appointed Greenspan.
