torxxx Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 well I finally got my second '86 wagon runnin right. Swapped out the carbs from a new remanufactured carb to the OEM one that came on my 86 wagon. Amazing that a carb thats 20 years old, will run better than a reman. after I got it running I let it run for 10 minutes, came out and the cat at the Y pipe was starting to glow red. I changed out the back half of the exhuast. Its getting pretty decent flow blowing out at the mid pipe flange and out the tail pipe. Why is my cat glowing? partially plugged? I'm going to make an attempt to pass the emissions test up here with a stripped carb.. shall prove interesting... its going to run off straight red HEET for the test to get the numbers down.
