See right here is the crux of the problem. A very dirty car (A big Healey
for example) puts out a very high amount of carbon monoxide, and unburnt
hydrocarbons. I've never had a 3000 on a smog machine, but I have had plenty
of MGs and Sprites. They love to run about 7-8% CO when set up right, and the
HC at maybe 300-500 PPM.
