you fabbed up a set of he's thru a cat and then thru a muffler.
hypothetical - if the exhaust read 700 HC & 7.00 CO - what woud it read with cat? jim Attached image(s) ![]() |

Oops read the post first
I would lean out the idle system just a bit and retard the timing. That should lower the CO a bit and keep the HC from climbing. Its all a crap shot. Adding a cat would get you to pass ether way... IMO ... |

Looking at those readings I would retard the timing a bunch and you should be OK. HST, I'm assuming you didn't have the timing checked during the test , thus won't be flagged for moving it around a bit.. I had a Ca. test and repair (emission testing) license for 25 years and did see reductions in HC when installing new cats, true its not as effective but does reduce the number. I think moving the timing (ATDC) would do it.. And what's he gonna do about the CO? If he gets the CO down to below the limit for a '72, it's reasonable to assume the HCs will fall as well ................. Besides, the timing is specified, and if he doesn't fall within a degree or 2 of the specification, it's gonna fail. The Cap'n |
