Hey,
I have a 71 Newport w/ 383 bb and 2bbl. The exhaust setup is dual stainless steel, stock type, 2.5 diameter. I am seriously considering istalling a catalytic converter on each exhaust. I know the fuselage era c-bodies were pre catatylic, but i am just a little annoyed with the pollution - especially when parking in the underground lot i use, the entire garage reeks with fumes, and when i park too long the fans kick on with the warning that the air is too toxic ;)
Anything i should consider when installing cats on a pre-cat car with a carb? Any worries, suggestions?
I did the same on my 87 Camaro with 305 throttle body injection, installed cats and the fumes were really much "cleaner", and i could stand next to a running car "all day long".
Thinking of something universal like these:
Catalytic Converters at Summit Racing
Thanks for any comments
