What’s it’s called?

Couldn’t decide to post this in the 60 thread or this thread. Parked near my house in Utah, California plates.

Friends - failed emissions with crazy high HCs at idle. No noticeable vacuum leaks, haven’t checked timing. The cat is pretty old, it was put on by a PO so I don’t know how old it is. I’ve read the posts on here about high HCs. I didn’t see anything with such crazy high HCs. Thoughts from...

Ah, shoot. Thanks for the reply. This is an 85, 60.
