My '88 900T failed the emissions test a few months ago due to excessive HC mainly at idle. The tech checked the cat convertor and said it was not getting hot enough at the outlet. I ordered a direct fit replacement cat from NAPA (approx. 130.00), bolted it up in about thirty minutes, had it retested the next week and it passed almost as clean as a new car. I had done everything I could think of before the first test, oil change plugs, cap rotor, set timing etc. My 88 has 250,000 miles so I was not totally suprised the cat was gone (half melted out on the inside). Good luck,
Richard
