<VV> CO sensor

[Mel Francis]

Hi again Matt,

If it wasn't a constant concern, most production cars wouldn't have completely sealed firewalls. 
I've driven front-engined cars with bad, cracked or non-existent rubber firewall seals, 
with blowby coming out the oil breather caps and that smells just as bad.

My better Corvairs of the time, were very fume-free, but there isn't a car out there, 
these days, that pumps heated engine-cooling air into the passenger compartment, by design!

My point is that if this simple modification is done, the entire situation changes and you'll never need to rely on 
a CO meter again. Of course, block the outflow ports on the engine, once the tubes are removed. 
It might even improve engine cooling efficiency....LOL

  Why the constant concern though?    

  I had  access to a certified  / Industrial OSHA  approved meter for 20 years...  checked many older cars... Vairs were no worse....all levels were low except when they had a leak..not just vairs.
