Due to "life" I have the truck that I had wanted to install these onto up for sale. so no truck, nothing to "convert". 1) 300A 50&70 mixer 2) Model "L" vaporizer 3) all new hose plenty to install onto full sized pickup truck both from tank-vaporizer and vaporizer-mixer, never used 4) tank; was told ...

cab is in awesome shape; bed is just starting to "go" around the wheel wells; I found a rust free Texas bed nearby; debating whether I want to go that route or else I'm thinking of going with a fiberglass utility style bed. I have a spare tranny (727) thinking of looking for a 92-older non lockup 51...

the next hot ("dry") day like today that I have any time I still gotta sandblast that propane tank so I can get some paint onto it so I can mount it then go thru my truck like a fine tooth comb to make sure it's tuned out to run the best I can get it on gasoline before the switchover to propane.... ...

finally got around to it today; getting closer to being ready to get it on my old Dodge; the diaphragm in the 300 was the "good" yellow one but did have a tear in it; on the vaporizer I was surprised at how much carbon buildup was in there; it was like looking at exh ports; got it all cleaned up; ju...

Hey, Imperial; I have an AFB on the truck now; I have played with a couple AVS' (never owned one though) but yes I mean Thermo Quads; I know they can be a headache to tune right; I must have gotten lucky as I have had a few and none yet gas needed much more than mixture adjustments or idle speed adj...

thats the plan; but I was hoping that someone here could provide a P/N....

well the $$ is gone and I have the parts sitting here staring at me; so they are going in. My whole point of the thread wasn't need or not needed; but how little the pile of parts is relative to the amount of $$ it takes to get them. Imports or US made never came into the question (though I often go...

Impco adapter # AA-55 description Adapter 1 1/4 Carter 2B (318 Dodge) will connect your existing 425 mixer to your existing 2B throttle body and 2B manifold. better choice for a stock or nearly stock engine Roger cool; I didnt know they had one for the BBD. on worn throttle shafts; I know all about...

Air filter element; I have a 300A "50/70" mixer here with an OLD air filter (14" outside diam) it is nasty; been sittin since about 1987, exposed; Is there a standard Fram, AC, Purolator etc one that I can get for it? I'm thinking the stock one for a 70s 2 bbl Mopar (any eng larger than 318, those u...

this is my 83 Dodge 3/4 ton, 318; I currently have an AFB 625 on there and wanted to run a TQ on there as a dual fuel but til someone else offers up their truck as a "volunteer" for the Mythbusters to debunk the myth of a TQ not being a good idea for a dual fuel, I'm not gonna go there (I was) so if...

Can I guantee this is the reason, no, however from experience I put 10 to 20 repair kits in other components compared to every 300 mixer. I have to fully agree here. Also, simply age can make the diaphrams less flexible than required for easy smooth engine startups. This is usually the reason why p...

I'm looking into possibly going "straight" propane down teh road if my dual fuel results are favorable; My truck has a 4 bbl gasoline carb on it at the moment; we talked on here in other threads about a Carter TQ not being the best choice for a gas carb when used with a dual fuel setup due to its pl...

yeah as a former 18-year ASE Master tech whose specialty was the alignment rack it drove me CRAZY when I would quote MOOG or Spicer and the dimwits would go next door to Useless Zone and get a price on tn named white box Made in China crap and then bitgh that the shop I worked ta was too high so the...

you apparently don't get what I say; From what I see $80 gets me a diaphragm, a gasket or 2, and maybe 10-12 screws.... it just doesn't seem like alot for the $$ and being on Disability (trying to get a real job to relieve myself of it and get back to the working world is proving fruitless) but basi...

no I mean gas as in gasoline; as is typically the "other" fuel in a dual fuel setup. you need a choke for when the engine is cold w/a typical carb'd gasoline engine; but if I use propane with other than a totally warm engine, then the choke will act as a restriction for propane.
