Topic: Catalytic Converter needed

[atzstng]

I'm looking for a catalytic converter for my pickup. Don't know exactly what the problem is with the smog yet but gotta look for a few parts cause these things new are really expensive. It's an 83 so let me know if you have anything on the cheap! I'm assuming anything off a 79-83 should work.

I bought mine from : http://www.davezoffroadperformance.com/index.html . It was the right one the 1st time. It even has the hole and flange for the temp sensor. Somewhere around $125.00 shipped. New too. Make sure and ask for gaskets though. If he doesn't have the gaskets in stock let me know I've got a part # for ya if you need it. I'd have to go look in my tool box.

Check ebay, you should be able to get a magnaflow that'll bolt in place for less than that.  And you'll want to be fairly specific on the year for some of the emissions crap, they changed some parts nearly every year.
