Hi all from Tucson

Hi everybody!
In 2009 I built a biodiesel motorcycle which got over 100mpg. But I ended up selling that to a guy in Mexico teaching sustainability classes, and instead I've now inherited my dad's 1951 MG TD, a 1250 cc carbureted engine.
I've got it working pretty well and it will soon be completely roadworthy (just finishing up the gas tank) but my mind turns to making it cleaner and more efficient... so I'd like to get people's opinions on the following:
1) You can purchase "universal" catalytic converters. Is this worth doing? I'm not concerned with mpg as much as cleaner burning....
2) With an older primitive carbureted engine, what recommendations would you make for increasing efficiency, in terms of best-bang-for-the-buck?
I look forward to spending time on these forums!
