Show WHERE YOU HAVE A CHOICE Catalytic Converters Help Keep Air Clean The catalytic converter is a very important component of your vehicles exhaust system. Its function is to help keep our air clean by converting the harmful gases your car engine generates - such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrous oxides - into harmless gas and water vapor. Converters have been required on virtually all vehicles manufactured since 1975. Like any vehicle component, converters wear out and need to be replaced. Here are a few facts you should know if you think your converter needs replacement: The catalytic converter on your car is r, 50,000-mil- e warcovered by a ranty from the vehicles manufacturer, who will replace it if it becomes defective within that period. Unless the converter is rusted out or five-yea- EIGHT 1 987 plugged up, it is virtually impossible to determine that it is malfunctioning without the use of sophisticated emissions testing equipment. According to Maremont Corporation, a leading manufacturer of exhaust systems and catalytic converters, a converter should be replaced if: The converter is missing; A state or local inspection program has determined that your converter has been or is otherwise in damaged, need of replacement; or Your car is more than five years old or has more than 50,000 miles on it, and the need for converter replacement (clogged, rusted out, etc.) is documented by the installer. We all want to breathe clean air. Effectively-operatin- g catalytic converters can contribute greatly to that objective. d DODGE CARAVANS TRX200SX 250 Rebel llOOShawdow VF 1000 R 1499 1099 3999 3999 DON'T CHECK PLAZA'S PRICES IF YOU 7 Past & 8 Pais BEFORE YOU BUY YOU LOSE P.S., Auto, Tilt, Cruise, Air Stereo, Luggage Rack, AM-FRear Window Defogger Loaded M '86 '86 DODGE D-4X4 Under 10,000 Mil 50 mis FORD Loaded Loaded '86 j TOC CHEV Vi TON LONGBED 4 Spd., Air Ml, 495 12 PASS XL '86 ISUZU TROOPER II Like New P.S., Power Windows, Power 1 379 Mon.-Fri- ., WEST 9-- 9; Sat., Price includes rebate -- - 3300 9-- 6 SOUTH 972-872- 5 does not include tax, lie., F.S.D.
