Propane powered DD *Spark Plug, and mounting questions*

AussieK5 said:
What the?....just adjust your timing to show 10 deg before TDC ie initial advance, and have your dizzy re-curved to have 9 deg (1 deg on dizzy = 2 at crank) come on full by 2250-2500rpm. Full advance will then be approx 28 deg (10 initial + 9x2 at dizzy). You may have to play around with lighter springs to achieve this, you'll only have to pull your dizzy if you get a shop to play with the curve for you.

sorry, timing is just something I've NEVER had to deal with. Please bare with my lack of knowledge:crazy:
 
So What would be recommended if I were to piece a kit together? Should I piece it together or buy a kit from somewhere?
 
I cant speak with any authority on whats available in the US to build your own system, however I would advise that if you have to ask that question, your best of with a full kit supplied with detailed instructions, from a reputable vendor.

You just cant afford to mess around with a pressured fuel system like propane on a vehicle, play it safe brother.

I have been researchin and I know what I need. I just think Im gonna have a certified person put it on. I heard that's the best thing to do
 
I ordered the whole kit, as I'd rather have it all there, with a nice set of instructions, as well as the benefit of customer service, if needed.
 
GotPropane.com. I probably made a stupid decision by ordering there, as they're prices were a little higher, but its all there, they upgrade alot of the stuff to silicone for longer service life, etc, and the guy was super cool on the phone, and told me to call back anytime if I had a problem during installation.
 
i thought he was good with it also, he said the kit would work for me.... but alot of people told me it would not be enough, you have a stock 350 so it will be perfect for you.....

from the site:
4 barrel Holley, Edelbrock, Ford,Chevy,Mopar etc...with squarebore manifold. This is the most common intake pattern on most V6 and V8 4 barrel engines. Especially with aftermarket intake manifolds. This is propane only.

Our 4 barrel kits will fit any engine with a square bore intake pattern. This would be most any aftermarket intake manifold for Ford, Chevy, AMC, Dodge, etc. This is the same pattern as an Edelbrock or Holley carb. This is the kit recommended for all V6 and V8 engines.These can handle stock V6/V8 motors all the way up to a continuous 420hp.

These kits are designed for excellent low to high range operation. These kits run extremely strong, and in many cases the engine makes more power. This kit bolts on in about 3 hours for the average mechanic. Look for this kit to make a dramatic difference on your vehicle. Because of the high octane you can advance the timing a lot more. This setup is extremely easy to tune and keeps it's tune maintainance free for years at a time!
It works perfectly on stock and modified engines up to 420 H.P. motors as well.

Price:$1025.00 This includes a brand new throttle plate assembly and silicone upgrades. This bolts on in place of your existing carburetor. This price includes everything you'll need to do it right the first time. This kit has been upgraded internally from rubber to silicone parts, at least tripling the service life! As well as brand new throttle plates!

Yeah, but I'm looking at it in my head like a trade in, selling all the carb stuff, makes it seem alot more sane :crazy::p::haha::wink1:
 
Haha yea when ISO it I will prob take out the whole gas setup. Tank and all. Guess there will be no need for it
 
I can't tell by the pictures. Does it come with a throttle plate?

One thing I'm still stuck on is tanks. 10 gallon tank could get me anywhere from 80-100 miles, that's about a week worth of driving back and forth to work from me. Do I grab 3, mount 2 on the rig, keep one at home? get a 100 pounder (23 usable gallons, IIRC), and the 2 10 gallon tanks for long trips? Decisions, decisions.:haha:
 
heres what im thinking. anybody please let me know if this wont work. i wanna pull the gas tank out since there would be no need, then place two tanks in there with the skid plate still covering them. i could cut up the bed to make it like a hatch. this way i could pull them out. now i havent gotten in there so im not sure if there would be anything in the way but it seems lijke this would work.
the kit i posted, im not sure i cant remember if it does. i think it comes with everything

I'm not 100% sure the tanks will fit width or lengthwise unless you remove the forward most xmember (front tank mount)

yea i havent really done measuring...i figure you can get atleast one in there but i might take some mearsurement this weekend and try to figure it out. i think it would be a sweet setup if i could get it worked out
 
Couple more questions for you boys.

Spark plugs: What are you running, got a part number?

Tank: I'm thinking of running a 100 lber, which is portable(enough), and can hold 23.?? usable gallons, and can be had for less than $150 new. My question is, adapters. I know I'd need one, as the systems designed to be use'd with forklift tanks. Are these available?

Another tank question. I was asked if the 100lb tank could even be layed on its side. Can it? :crazy:

Thanks brothes :wink1:
