[DML] Re: "Fake" converter available

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll answer Bill and Bob at the same time. . . .other issues 
notwithstanding, the lack of a functional converter on a post-1975 
car that came with one from the factory is not legal where I live 
(actually it's not legal anywhere, but here They Are Watching.) Like 
it or not, and I'm not debating the laws since they are here and in 
place. 

While I might be able to get it to pass the dyno-roller test by 
careful tuning, I don't really want to mess with it, and don't want 
to saddle a future owner (this car will be for sale in a few months) 
with this sort of problem. I've also not ever seen anyone really make 
this work, just talked about. 

If I lived somewhere that Emission Testing was not (and not forecast 
to be) an issue, and I was likely to keep the car for the next ten 
years, I'd probably think differently about it. That's why I offered 
the converter for sale, someone somewhere else may be able to use it 
to play with. If I was taking a completely moral stance it would go 
in the trash.
