HELP!
 
I am having a problem with emissions on = my 90 Syncro Westy.  It failed the emission test here in WA, but only on = the hydrocarbons at idle.  It passed the hydrocarbons at 2500 = RPM.  It also passed the CO and CO2 at idle and at cruise.  Subsequently, I = found that the catalytic converter was empty!  What's the best way to solve this as I can't renew my license = tabs until it passes the emissions test.   
 
Is it possible to lean it down on idle = to pass for HC?  Do I have to install a new cat.-- they are = expensive.  Does the engine run better, ie, better mpg and power, w/o the cat?  Any experts on this subject out there?   If I = need to install a cat. to pass the test, anyone in my area (Seattle/Tacoma) have = a cheap used one?
  
Also, need because of rock = damage:
          &nbs= p;            = ;       Right Main Headlamp (lens unit only)
          &nbs= p;            = ;       Left High Beam Headlamp (lens unit only)
