[Nobbc] Need to get a 79 Spitfire 1500 smogged

Hi Pierce,
You will probably also need to get the catalytic converter
below the exhaust manifold, which is why most of the
exhaust manifolds are warped and cracked.

Don't know if this is futile, but it might be easier to find an
older Spitfire here that doesn't need to meet smog. 74 or older.

All the best,

Wendell
59 Morgan Plus 4
