Default 2003 Blazer LS 2 door 2wd P0420 question

This code has set 3 times in the last month.Every time I do a freeway run and come to a stop at the bottom of a ramp. Just before the code sets I get a really strong raw fuel smell in the vechical. But the engine never even stumbles idles smooth ,RPMs stay the same. The only work that has been done it it was 3 months ago. I changed the lower and upper intake ,fuel spyder and distributor . Any ideas?

There are several things that can set P0420, it's not limited to just the converter. Follow the steps in the link in post #2 and you'll find the problem.
