HELP i failed smog in cali

ok so i just picked up a 86 n/a(bought as-is) and it was high on CO, so i ran some injection cleaner thru it, cleaned up the plugs, and replaced the o2 sensor, it got closer but was still about .05 over on CO. everything else was plenty low. anybody have any ideas...also i checked the cats, the first one is hollow(pre-cat?) but from what i understand that one is pointless and it cant even be purchased.

Put 1 gallon of alcohol in 1/4 tank of gas. After you get done, fill up and baby it until that tank is out. Or, just pay the man some extra cash..
