Smile Hello from Central Alberta,Canada

Hi Everyone! I am a 28 year old guy that has always loved to work on vehicles. My favorite ones are 1973-1987 Chevy Pickups. I am a Licensed Mechanic by trade. I have a restored 1979 pickup that's my daily driver. I'm looking forward to learning lots of new things on this forum.

Hi. I'm currently running a duel fuel setup impco model E converter vff30 lockoff impco 300A mixer on top of an edelbrock 1805 thunder series carb. I am thinking of switching to dedicated propane with an extra impco model E in series with the main one and an impco 425 carb with the holley square bore throttle plate so I can tune it properly. I already have got distributor recurved and I know I guy that will port out the impco 425 for me so it will have way more cfm. So it should have lots more power!
