propane/gas dual setting carb.?



Hi
 My imp also runs on propane
In the US there is a book by S-A Design
Named propane conversions part No 12-1
Here in the Netherlands I can not get this book
Maby one IML member is wiling to help me to get this bok
Please mail private about this
About Running on propane I Know that propane runs hotter
Becouse there is no lead in propane the exhoust valve seats may burn down
If your imp is suitable for unleaded fuel I Think that you won't have this
problem
On my 57 I have no problem uptil now When valve seats burned down I have to
get Hardened valve seats
Here we use a IMPCO setup with this setup in the  airfilter is the mixer for
the propane
on the newer and better system there is more airflow when running on propane
but also more propane to get the corect propane to air mixture
With this impco setup there is almost no extra air restriction when runing
on gasoline
So the setup of the carb can be the same as without propane
You open a valve in the airfilter with a cable when running on gasoline
