venturi needs to be mounted in front of the throttle body not behind/downstream of it. i've seen conversions done on injected motor and most of them left all the FI gear inplace just disconecting the electrics and fuel pump and replaceing the disty with one that is stand alone(carburetor type). there are also thing called emulators used on LPG conversions in europe that plug into the back of the injectors and in turn have the injector power wire plugged into the back of them....and what they do when they're switched on is tell the ECU that injector is working while at the same time not allowing power through to the injector...so when your running on LPG the ecu don't know about it

if you are going to make your own carb like i did don't be tempted to try making a 'bigger carb' if your venturi is too big your low end isn't going to exist im running a 37mm venturi and its fine i was running a 46mm venturi and it would bog (and stall if i didn't stomp on the clutch) just off idle

stock brat/brumby tank is 50ltr my 70 liters of lpg capacity give me exactly the same range..about 500km just keep in mind when sorcing a LPG tank that when full an LPG tank must have a 20% capacity reserve in the tank I.E a 100liter tank will only hold 80liters....the extra room allows for lpg to expand if it warms up so that if you fill your tank at night (cooler/cold) then let it sit with a full tank in the sun it won't hydraulic the tank

as my login name implies im on LPG and have been for quite awhile now and i wouldn't got back to petrol unless there was a massive price difference in favor of petrol. LPG has bonus's that i like like the fact that i don't need a choke...and i can and am running 25deg+ spark advance(i don't know what im running, the timing marks stop at 20deg, i've got my dizzy as far foward as it will go without turning it a tooth) Oil change intervals are good as well.... 25'000km and it comes out only a tad darker than it goes in and LPG is cheaper here $0.86 per liter as against $1.71 per liter for 91 petrol (lowest grade here) Even with the extra fuel usage due to lower BTU content LPG costs the same as if petrol was $1.05 per liter when you workout $$$ per 100km

Tranny conversion problem
LPGsuperchargedBrumby replied to ShawnW's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
i know this is an old thread but i ran into exactly the same problem that Shawn did. i got round the problem by clamping the swaybar down to the steel bench and heating each side of the offending hump and bending it down flat with the aid of a hooligin bar (minime sized crowbar), so instead of the hump going up, now it goes back. got it retempered at a spring makers...so it should all be good from here on -
wheels i would imagine...i looked a getting a set of 4 to 6 stud adapters but i figger drilling a 6 stud wheel would be cheaper

does your reg have a small hose going to it that comes from manifold vaccuum i.e under the throttle body? cos if it doesn't and only has a wire from the gas safety relay its electronic, nearly all the lovato regulators i've seen are electronic -
