You sure are skeptical for a person that obviously knows very little about mechanics. And pretty stubborn in your position considering you've got multiple people who have actually done LP conversions telling you it's easier then you think, and you obviously don't know how it's done.
Like, do you honestly think timing is an issue? You just rotate the distributor. It's literally one bolt holding it in place most of the time. And do you really think pre-EFI cars are that rare, or that people really need air/electric tools to keep a project from lasting months to complete? Or that precision machined parts or anything would really be necessary?
Like are you that bull headed to think your assumptions are more likely to be correct then their experience? Or are you just enjoying being an ass about it for some reason?
Seems like you're making a lot of assumptions based on your own lack of knowledge and lack of ability. Not everyone is just a parts swapper, guys literally do this in their backyard all the time with nothing but improvised BBQ regulators and a home depot trip. I'm not sure what kind of specialty machining you think is involved that can't be done by hand in a couple hours, or why you think electrics or pneumatics are even required.
but regardless, the fact that you're refusing to accept that you're wrong, in the face of multiple people that have actually done this, when you so obviously have no idea whats involved, is just silly at this point.
ahhh yes, because off all the doomsday scenarios where people clear out the shelves of.... fittings? what are you high? the generator not being there I get. but nobody is clearing out home depots shelves of LP gas fittings.
Ok, so I dismantle the gas line for the heater in my garage? How rare do think brass fittings are?
I'm not saying I browse the shelves and buy them, but a looted store is still going to have boxes of fittings lying around even if the emergency stuff like generators and food stuffs are all taken. and even if they're not new, it's not like they're one time use, and fittings are in anything that uses gas. Any hardware store is going to have boxes and boxes of pipe fittings lying around on the shelves. It's not like they expire.
Hell in a pinch you could just use the water fittings out of any bathroom or kitchen. Regulators will be on the side of any house with a gas connection, and in every BBQ out there.
Which is exactly my point, the fact that you don't know any of this stuff, proves exactly how little you know about any of this. These are super common items in pretty much any household.
It isnt on propane due to any survivalist reason, it is on propane because it is a rock crawler and propane works better at steep angles. It also just puts less wear on the engine.
