I'm getting about 280-300 km per tank, but I've go a fair bit more to do yet (dizzy mods and throttle body) and I reckon I should be able to get 320-340 out of it when I'm done.

BTW, this is on an EA81, but I'm sure you'd get similar results on the EA82.

I should mention that my car is an MY, but I'm guessing the '86 wont be much different?

If you're gonna go straight gas, rip out the petrol tank and go underbody. You need a tank 709x 330 (mm's) or smaller to fit. You just need to mod the exhaust a little bit, but its no biggie.

I've got 40L usable in the underbody tank I fitted. ;)

Converter is a Zavoli from Italy (oh s**t), the last Italian product I had was a gas oven and I dont even want to talk about what happened to that..... The tank I've got is a small underbody one that has 38 usable litres. I'm getting around 220km from a full tank (hence the 85km per 15litre). I have...

Thanks Steptoe, I know where I'm at with the rotor arm modification now. How much did you braze up, from looking at a previous post that had a photo of the rotor arm you modded, I'm guessing about 2mm, would that be right? Did you mod (reduce tension) the springs that hold the weights? I'm getting a...

Cheers Steptoe, but being new with re-curving dizzy's you're gonna have to hold my hand a bit! I found an exploded view of my Hitachi (or near enough to), which bits did you mod and how does that alter the curve? Did it help a lot with power and economy? I'm hoping so as mine is chewing the gas. I h...

Re-Graphing a Hitachi Dizzy for LPG

Hi All, Just convertered my '83 wagon to gas only. Need some help with re-graphing the dizzy to suit LPG. My EA81 runs a Hitahi Electronic Type dizzy. From doing a bit of research, it seems LPG needs quick advance over the first 2000rpm then level out. Petrol has the opposite curve with slow advance...
