The cat should not affect all that, unless the previous cat was real messed up. I'd just re-adjust the air/fuel screw and timing (can cause engine to run very hot if set wrong). What color is the smoke?

lol cool, thanks man, (hey how's your buddy that had the RX3? is he cool?)
i'm relieved that the seller is taking car of the car, even though she's selling it. it was supposed to be picked up today, but she postponed it till she took care of the problem.
-does a '79 exhaust fit onto a '80?

Ahh... I failed to notice that you have an SA. On the topic of emissions, pre-80 cars don't need to pass smog, right? Maybe this depends on state/country...?
