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>),
