[FC] Tune up specs

[Clark Hartzel]

Neat!  How does it sound with a converter?  Are you going to leave it on or
was that just for the  smog check?

Clark -

Thanks for the info. I tuned up sort of close to those figures but was
in a bit of a hurry because the testing station was closing soon and I
wanted to perform the big tip I got from Bob Crawford. That was to
replace the muffler with a catalytic converter!  I passed with plenty of
room to spare. I didn't even clean the plugs. This is the method I will
use to pass the test from now on. No more worries and guaranteed pass.
I'm putting Bob up for sainthood.

regards,

Charles
