All, I've been toying with adding catalytic converters to an MGB-GT that I'm planning on making a daily-driver after a V-8 conversion (w/ closed-loop fuel injection) and restoration. From what I understand, though, unburnt fuel can damage catalytic converters. I know that air-pumps are added to cars starting in the late 60's to inject air into the hot exhaust to allow any un-burnt fuel to combust before entering the atmosphere, long before Cats became mandatory. So my question is: Does a car w/ Cats require an air-pump, and heads designed for an air-injection rail? Even if the car is running closed-loop? What is the little air-tube on Cats for, and is it required for proper use? Thanks, and please.. no feline jokes....
