Any tips on tightening the cat-to-manifold seal? Mine is coming apart
again, and I just broke off one of the studs trying to put new nuts on.
Any good tricks to this, or is it just nearly impossible?
Related to this topic is my next question: I've had the car for 3 years
or so and the cat has come off more than 3 times, just rattled itself
loose. I've used lockwashers, everything, it just doesnt' seem to fit
right at all, especially now that the front of the cat is coming off.
Is there a straight header I can fit which doesn't require changing the
intake? Is it possible to pass emissions on a 79 without the catalytic
converter? AZ says I dont' have to have one, but I do, and my car
passes. I'd like to clean it up and remove all the extra bolts and
nuts, but I dont' want to change carbs (yet), and I don't want to fail
emissions. Any suggestions?
thanks,
Mike Jose
