I have three weeks holliday from today so im planing my mods. crome suround(black grill surround is cooler.) de badged grill(no, just no.), i have been given the gas propane? converstion form one of the 740s so i need to turn off the petrol injectors somehow(unplug).stainless 2" de cat exaust go at least 2.5. manual convestion?YesYesYes how about k&n panle fillterunder articles, modifications on top of main page (http://www.turbobricks.com/mods.php)? what you think? i will get some beter pics once the paper work is done.
also, while its up with the exhaust off, suspension bushings, motor mounts, and drive shaft carrier with OEM rubber or polyurethane as even a low mile car has ruined rubber after 20-30 years. Unscrew the little setscrew in your driveshaft u-joints and put in a zerk fitting to fill em up with grease again, replace any that are worn
AND FOR GODS SAKE GET A TURBO!!!!! cause its more fun than pezleys woosy n/a fetish.

Car looks nice. I would suggest taking apart that adjustable gear and aligning the dot on the outer pulley with the degree adjustment section if you can. That would make adjustment much easier and have a proper reference which you don't have now.

i have been given the gas converstion form one of the 740s so i need to turn off the petrol injectors somehow
I'm confused? Is this dual fuel or something?

nice glt, new mounts and bushes would be good if youve got the time. makes no end of difrence and your clutch master wont get hit by the cam cover when you clutch kick it (if you intend to do that kind of thing) :)

petrol is to expensive.:grrr: plus with the LPG you can run higher compression so more power. if i get that far i will poly bush it. i was looking at making my own from nylon bar i read it was better but not sure.
