More Information
Summary:A catalytic converter for treating engine exhaust gases which encompasses a catalyst retaining bed that comprises two perforate plates supported slidably by grooved supporting pieces. In a preferred arrangement the convert has a top inlet, thus permitting under-the-hood or engine compartment installation. A special baffle plate in the inlet manifold section in conjunction with a tilted catalyst bed establishes uniform distribution of exhaust gases through the catalyst particles.
