I drive a 1980 Triumph Spitfire 1500 with 62,000 miles on it. I'm only able to take short trips (in cold weather), because the catalytic converter glows (red hot) in very short order. I've burned thr

Ok, the cat is rich, probably. Yes the line is fine and hard to stay on with regards to proper mixture. So what's a guy to do? Well, the redneck way works my friend. Take said destroyed cat off (it

Hi list, has anyone experience in fitting a catalyzer to the TR4? I have bought one (ceramic) very cheap and it would fit the best directly beside the engine where the exhaust pipe begins to run para

I hate to ask the question........But why on earth would you want to ruin a perfectly good car with a catalytic converter??? 63 Triumph TR4s are exempt from all state and local emissons laws and the

Assuming this can be done effectively, I'd say it's an excellent idea. I have no idea how catalytic converters work, but they seem to be a better means of reducing emissions than lowering compression

Hold your breath for as long as you can, and don't eat anything either. You'll find out in "short order". As for "ruining" a car, get your mind out of the sixties. Modern catalytic converters are VER

Not a bad Idea. My 79 SPit has one fitted. THey were required that year. Be sure to get the heat shields mounted properly. Otherwise you will have a CATASTROPHIC PERVERTER. They are very effective at

I think the biggest issue with installing a cat is the heat. They get *very* hot when in use (I don't know how hot "very" is, but I think that the catalytic reaction is exothermic, meaning that the c

Catalytic converters do work well on new engines. But do you remember the cars of the 70's. Before the grand days of computer controlled engines, fuel injection and distributorless ignition, cars we

Look at the catalytic converter this is not quite true, you also need an excess of oxygen in the exhaust gases to complete combustion and this is why the air pump is generally part of the system on
