    The first valve is the vacuum lock off, thats why with holes in the diaphragm you had no gas, it stops the flow of gas should the motor stall. The next piece along the line is the regulator, it regulates the flow according to vacuum. Then lastly is the mixer, its what you loosely call the gas carb. All this stuff looks like Impco gear, the mixer looks like a 425 the biggest Impco made. Impco gear is really reliable . The one thing is to make sure you have good water flow, no water = frozen regulator = no gas. I had an FJ 40 with a 302 ford that was built for LPG and it was great, never missed a beat. Good luck.

    Bruce that front axle is definitely not a Dana44 axle for sure!!!!! It is a Dana 60 front axle for sure!!!! How I no is the outer king pins instead of ball joints and on the passenger side where the leaf springs bolt to the axle there is only one bolt holding the leaf springs to the axle and the other two are bolts that run into the axle housing and on the driver side it has two ubolts holding the axle to the springs!!! One other way you can check to make sure it is a Dana 60 is on the front webbing there will be a F60 and that will definitely confirm that it is a Dana 60 for sure!!! The spot on the webbing where it should say F60 will be on the front bottom right side or driver side of the webbing!!! Those axles are definitely wanted by guys that use Dana 60 for rock crawling or even mud racing!!! I have around 7 of 8 Dana60 front axles and I have guys trying to buy them from me all the time because they are definitely becoming way harder to find for sure and when you do find one they can go for anywhere from 1000.00$ to 2500.00$ just for the front Dana60 axles!!!

    I'd leave the 350 in it but go back to gas with a holley fuel injection. Rewire the whole thing, basic maintenance, and that's it. If the tires are dry rotted then swamper boggers. There's no need for an ls swap. That engine has more than enough power for a rig that small. Just drive it and have fun.

  • @patriotgodfearingamerican7185
    @patriotgodfearingamerican7185 3 месяца назад

    I have worked on trucks that are converted to propane. Propane makes less horse power than gas. The real problem with propane is it has no smell so they add another gas to it to make it smell like rotten eggs. That gas will gum up your valves and they will not seat then the motor won't start and when it does it wont run smooth. The way to keep that from happening is to run some high octane gas threw the motor every 5000 miles and burn the gunk off of the valves. cool Jeep

After yall have some fun with it you should definitely put coil overs or ORIs and dual triangulation 4 link from t and rear

    lot of folks convert their cars to propane/LPG in europe, and some manufacturers offer it as an option when you're buying new.
    It's also a must if you imported one of those big ol' shitrod V8 from america since it's less than half the cost of gasoline.
    I've also seen a diesel semi converted to LPG as well. It ran a mixture of 1202 and propane. The guy said the fuel savings are minimal (less than 10%) he has like 30%+ more power for free and it's a lot cleaner burning so his DPF hardly needs maintenance.
