I was cleaning out my father's attic the other day and came across this catalytic converter and am trying to figure out what vehicle it came from. He does not remember. We are most likely going to just try to sell the converter on ebay or something, but don't know what vehicles it is for. There is no part number on it as far as I can tell, but it does have stamped on it "WITH AIR TUBE CA N TD 6100 N EM 514" and "WITHOUT AIR TUBE CA N EM 4113 N EM 4113". He used to have an 87 Blazer, and have a hunch it is for this vehicle, but I wanted to be sure. Any ideas?

Thank you!

It is near impossible to get the exact year ,make ,model that it would work on with the info you have.. Is it new or used? If used it may be considered haz material.If you sell someone wrong type or a non fuctional unit and they fail emmisions the feds could get involved.

Go to your nearest scrap metal yard. They will buy it from you. Some are worth more than others. No use in selling it used for the reasons RT outlined already. Cats have precious metals in them and are worth money, some more than others. I used to have a 55 gallon drum full of old cats and when the price was up a few years back I bought a $1600 welder with what I made from them.
