ABSOLUTELY ! ! ! Over the years and because somebody told me <G> I have told
Customers
(after leaning carb out approx = between running great and hardly running - LOL
-) to fill-up
with SHELL (only) Hi-test and go drive about 170 miles south and fill up with
SHELL (ONLY) Hi-test and come back; re-fill & do same drive & then go directly
to Testing Station & get tested. "If" car fails
(which has proved to be in serious minority <G>) go around block and lean-out
further and return to Station.
Cars have NOT failed after the foregoing <G> <G> <G> ! ! !
I have had ONE (1) Customer that "knew better" and used Amoco Hi-test and did
above then FAILED.
He did the "further lean out" to the point car would hardly run and barely made
it into Test Lane;
he STILL FAILED ! ! !
He did the above Shell + drives and PASSED <VBG> ! ! ! He stopped by later
same day and told me
"PLEASE go ahead and say 'I TOLD YOU SO' ". We had a great laugh ! ! !

Common 'operation' around here. Easier to just replace with "Test Pipe" (see
Moss Catalog <G>) as long
as 'visual' doesn't count <VBG> ! Additional benefit is dissipation of exhaust
heat ! ! ! Empty cats RETAIN
*HEAT* (read CHERRY RED & directly under carb <F>) ! ! !
Also, be SURE you have some sort of Heat Shield; even if you have to make one
(roofing flashing tin
works GREAT <G>),
