Contact Propane Carburation out of NJ, they can set you up with everything you need. Stay away from Century stuff, if your serious about converting stick with Impco's mixer and vaporizors, there the best out there for LP carburation. You'll lose mpg with LP, but as mentioned LP can run anywhere from 120 to 130 octane and requires some retiming of your ignition, which will increase your performance over the garbage fuels we have today at the pump. One caution with LP if you put it on a high mileage engine with a lot of sludge build up it will over time clean out the motor and can cause problems with valves, etc. just remember there is no carbon deposits left with LP like gasoline. If it's fresh motor the engine life will triple vs gasoline. The only other problem with LP is availability vs gasoline.
