I'm a newbie to this forum, but I have had an ongoing issue for some time now. Years ago I made the mistake of taking a "short-cut" to a rebuild on the wife's RRC, and I sourced one of the NOS ex-Gulf low compression V8's that were on sale through various independents. To cut a long story short, the build was pretty bad, and I had to fix a number of issues before it would even run for the first time. I subsequently got a StarGas system fitted with mixers at the carb elbows (1.75" SU HIF44 retrofitted), and over the years managed to get a lot of LPG problems ironed-out (poor installation, etc.) to the point where the running was just about acceptable.
Since then, life changes, and I now run a diagnostics one-man-band business in the middle of nowhere. And then another of these wretched 3.5 ex-Gulf engines turns up in a RRC. And it runs like a sack of spuds, apparently "always has done, since the engine was changed"
Short question - has anyone successfully got an LC Stg.1 or early RRC with 8.13:1 CR running on LPG in any way or form, or is this just a losing battle? The theory says its a losing battle, but I know that with a decent ignition system and lots of time, you can get one of these to run, it just never gets any better than high-idle speed, then its all gutless.
