Propane install: FSB

[olmer2]

For those that don't know, here Ya go... :xyxthumbs: Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a gas that is in liquid form when it's under pressure. The liquid is stored in a tank. From the tank it flows through special tubing/hose to a safety valve that is either actuated by vacuum or a 12volt trigger (I used the power source from the old fuel pump which is no longer needed). From the safety valve it then flows (still as a liquid) to the converter. The converter converts the liquid to a gas by letting it expand. The rapid expansion causes extreme cold, so engine coolant is piped from the heater core and flows through the bottom of the converter thusly warming/defrosting it. Now, as a gas, it heads to the mixer and is mixed with fresh air from the air cleaner (it acts like a carb). The base of the mixer is actually the base plate from a Holly 650 carb. The butterfly valves are actuated with the go fast pedal. That's petty much it in a nutshell. Super easy to install, it takes about three or four hours to complete.

Gas engine 351 (now a 358 with heavy internal mods)


just about all you need, from left to right: safety valve, mixer/carb base plate, converter, intake (low rise, dual plane for torque) garden hose wraped line(to protect gas line), assorted fittings, and tank.


It'll take me FOREVER to post these pics. so here is a link to the photos from the build up. I posted them backwards so just hit the "PREV" button in the upper right corner: http://www.virtualford.org/vfforum/album...tureid=426
