towing with 57

["Dave & Tracy" <dave-tracy.sherratt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Remco,
you say that you are running the car on Propane gas ? . This might be
causing the low performance, & possibly the overheating of the engine. Might
I suggest altering the ignition timing & run the car with gasoline  hitched
up with the Airstream to see if there is any difference.
Regards
Dave.
