[alfa] Fouled plugs and extremely hot CAT

[Don Harvey <donharvey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So I'm cruising in my '86 Alfa Spider all day yesterday and she was 
running sweet.  I went to take her out last night and, well he had a 
fight.  She was coughing and puttering, and long story short, after 
about 1/4 mile, I took her back home.  Heck, almost didn't make it.  I 
smelled the faint aroma of burning exhaust pipes and peaked under the 
car.  The CAT was extremely hot - like red to orange hot.  So I figure, 
either it is running extremely lean or extremely rich.  I took the 
plugs out and they are black, dry and fouled.  She's been retro'd to 
dual webers.  Any thoughts on what happened all of a sudden on my 
fuel/air mix?  Ignition problem maybe and not firing correctly?  Where 
the heck do I go from here?  Thanks for the input....
