<VV> Cat on a Corvair Re: make Corvairs less "aromatic"

[FrankCB at aol.com]

"Cat" (actually catalytic) converters are designed to clean up the final  
traces of emissions from well controlled engines that already produce LOW  
emission levels.  Putting one on a relatively stock Corvair will cause it  to 
rapidly overheat and/or get clogged up.  If you're putting it on a EFI  
engine with a well controlled A/F ratio (using a wideband O2 sensor) you might  
get the cat to last much longer.

There was (maybe still is) someone on VV who had a cat  converter on a LM 
about  2 or 3 years back.  I don't recall  who.  You might wish to do a 
search?

Later,  JR
