Kick off 9pm Sat NZ time...that some time Frid American time... OK who knows what Rugby is? Real Man's football.... The Canuks should get wasted, but still game to worth watching, just to see how a good top level internal team plays... The Canuks are good players, just not at this level... If u dont...

I have run LPG for over 20 yrs in my Camaro... MPG in lpg is a meaningless figure. Bottom line I need to know the comparison with main stream petrol. Hence why I calc $/mile convert to current petrol price of the grade I would be using, and work out the equiveilent mpg per in petrol terms.. With my ...

Most stock HEI ign systems work well if in good condition, ie shaft bushes, good cap etc General rule of thumb, (petrol) replacing 1 centrifugal spring with a lighter one improves performance...dropping total cent between 6 to 8 degs, all in around the 2800 to 3400 rpm. If dyno not an option, street...

1/ LPG runs cold, should have a 160* thermostat 2/Timing curve should all be in about 2200 to 2500 rpm and 27 to 32 * Simply upping the curve to get high low rpm advance results in long term damage high initial results in loading of the starter motor, and hard starting...this places higher currents ...

I started out with the std points ign on the camaro.... This was the 1st dizzy I curved up, it worked fine...the only down side is that it doesnt take much...pionts/ht leads etc to upset LPG...All it needs is someone to pull a HT lead by the lead, damage it slightly, thu not enough to notice anythin...

I would not be driving the car on the road far, just around the neighborhood a bit. I feel I need this to push me in, so to speak. so I am looking for input 1st gen Camaro huh (Avatar) I have had one on dedicated LPG since '86 Check out some of my older threads for how it runs and what I use..cam/c...

Yes I saw what u are saying... all we had was a small amount of hydrogen being sucked in the engine to make it more efficient Definition of "Efficient" Yes the engine, taken on its own, will be more efficient, but if the overall energy is put into the equation to then assess overall efficiency of th...

Bottom line... without getting into electrons, protons, atomic bonding and such the water molecule atoms H2 and O are 'glued' or stuck together... This is done by mixing the 2 in the right proportions and supplying a small amount of energy....from here the process becomes self sustaining as it produ...

Putting aside home delivery /leased tanks
In NZ car fill is about 80c/l
A 9L heater/bbq tank is about $12 from the same bulk tank/fill station
vehicle/other use have diff taxes etc

But if you get on well with the guys at the filling station, they will fill the car and tank on the same fill.

Power between OEM and open element was not reliably distinguishable when I was originally sorting curves etc on the dyno The other issue is the OEM + carb + performer manifold will not clear the bonnet...as it is I have a small rub mark on the bonnet. Even a pic of an installed would help, then I wo...
