Most likely not. As your car probably isn’t very efficient in burning off fuel in the first place so you’ll most likely kill the cat with unburned fuel. Simply throwing a cat/con on a car won’t significantly lower emissions a bit or possibly at all in a long term. A cat con is just one part of a emissions system,
I would simply make sure you have good fuel filter, plugs and wires, distributor cap rotor and points are right and new , the timing is right, the carb is tuned correctly and you don’t hammer it everywhere you go. Drive slow without heavy acceleration.
so? you can still put a converter on that motor if you like, again you dont need the fancy electronics. remember in 1975 when converters were first required, pretty much all cars were carburetted, and had no fancy electronic gizmos to control the air/fuel mixture like today.
the question you should be asking is why should i put a converter on my vintage camaro. the answer is there is no need to. you might see a small reduction in emissions, but not enough to bother with in the long run. in fact chances are that your engine runs rich enough that you would constantly be clogging up converters on a regular basis.
if you want to improve fuel economy and emissions, then tune your engine to get better fuel economy and better emissions.
It's available in a number of places that are not non-attainment areas for air pollution. That excludes most major metropolitan areas, which are struggling to meet the numbers for various pollutants.
No ethanol is regular 87 but it costs more than premium 93 [at least in my area and not available at all stations] You would have to do a cost/benefit analysis compared to the average mpg your car gets to make a decision to buy it.
92 was the very last of the P72 LTD based Crown Vic. Used the 5.8L Windsor.
The P71 came out in Feb of 92 as 1992.5.
wrong again my friend. 1991 was the last of the box bodied panther chassis cars, and was the last to use the push rod V8s. 1992 was the first of the aero bodied panthers, and ALL of them used the 4.6 overhead cam mod motor, and ALL mod motors are fuel injected. before you go any further, you might want to do some research here Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Marauder, and Towncar and check the forums there. they have two listed one is the 1992-up aeros and whales the other is 1979-1991 boxes.
Aww, look at you two, arguing stats about a car on the internet that no one gives a crap about.
