Hi David,
Having once had a red hot convertor (which is now hollow and still passes smog,
shh-don't tell AQMD) There are only two reasons that I know of for the cat to
glow cherry red:
1. Mixture is WAY too rich
2. The cat is blocked or partially blocked.
#2 was my case. It finally became completely blocked and blew open around the
seam (scared at least 2 years off my life when it did). I took it off, emptied
the pieces, had a friend weld it back up and put it on. It passed smog check II
the next time. I need to get off my lazy butt and get the midget smogged, but
as mentioned before it has been idling kind of rough lately. (and I'm also
broke)
I would go for the blockage route. The cat is a pain in the butt to get off
too.
Steve.
