If i can borrow a catalytic converter, with of course a deposit for it, it will i think resolve my problem.

Have you tried to have it tested as is? Is DC a visual test and/or a tailpipe sniff? I ask because my old SC (1978) had NO emmission equipment and passed VA and NJ emmissions over the years.

DC is a two speed idle test like VA used to do ~15 years ago.
