I am sure it is cold.
Gordon was project engineer on RollsRoyce aero turbine and then
Chrysler auto turbine. Also designed a ultimate production flow
bench for Carter Carb about a 100 benches in a pressure, temperature,
humidity controlled air locked room.  In the 70's flow benches
used about 20 highly polished critical flow orifice venturies,
water manometers about 5 feet long and a mercury sealed chamber.
All flow boxes connected to one huge constant vacuum pumping system.

Nuetronics  have a web page, also Popular Electronics or Electronics 
Now did a article about a 2 year ago on there new system for 
converting carb. cars for O2 sensor and catalyst. Used in CA. and 3rd 
world. Another system made by someone else for 3rd world used engine 
misfire rpm sensor to lean engine until started missing.

All the german cars they sent over here now have to be converted over 
there.
