My Headers are glowing Brite Red!

No, Its not because its all hot rodded out either cause its stock!

What else could it be besides the Cat. Converter? This car does not have a distributor... Thankx

Could we start over at the beginning and tell us what else the car has been doing; what you’ve done to the car and what those things did or didn’t do towards fixing whatever the original problems are.
A catalytic converted is an after burner it does not affect running unless it’s plugged. A plugged converter will cause a substantial loss in power because exhaust gases cannot flow out of the engine; which could make the headers glow red-hot. If this is the case, just replacing the converter is only the beginning of the repair; you’ll have too get out your Sherlock Holme’s cap

Find out who or what killed the thing.
Converters don’t die of natural causes they are murdered.
Over fueling, engine-misfire anything that would cause unburned fuel to enter the converter?

Hmmmmmmm. We ran into a Ford years ago that had the same symptom. Took us a while, but found out the coil was not producing enough spark and the fuel was burning in the exhaust manifold since it was hot enough there to continue the combustion process. Just a thought. Might help, might not.

Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
