...we had an '81 Escort wagon with 4-speed manual, and experienced LOTS of "fun" when one of the Ford/Weber carburetor jets "backed out" while driving at 65 mph between Phoenix and Yuma.
...the catalytic convertor was literally "...glowing..." red-orange when we pulled into a reststop to investigate what was "...smelling HOT?"
...took almost a full tank of gas to travel the 180 miles between Phoenix and Yuma that day!
