This is a basic video I just saw. If a smog shop cant tell if your convertor is good, move on.
I would bring it to someone who is good with mercedes or european cars. Pep boys or any other chain I would avoid.
I pretty much had the same feelings & did some calling but need to do more.

Pep Boys did say they can't test CC's.
You're right some techs no matter how certified will have limited experience with 30 year old cars.

Problem is I need to choose state approved smog repair stations in order to qualify.

I may have to ask Enrique again. Maybe he can help confirm the fuel ratio adjustment so I can make sure its done right.

I can't epect a smog repair stations to deal with old vacumns.
I'll have to work on that in near future.

Thanks for your input.

Great idea....wonder if I can set up a candy thermometer?
