Better late than never
Hi, I've been a member for a little while now, but I have kept a low profile. I live in Australia and I drive a 1978 Holden Hz Panelvan with a 454 in it. It has exhaust flamethrowers and runs on straight LPG, which is a common fuel for big V8s over here, but I am told that it is used more for those big mobile home things over in the U.S.A.
Here is a pic of it,
I hope to pop up on here a little more often from now on, so I look forward to chatting with a few of you soon,
Cheers

Yeah they are a great car. They come as a sedan,station wagon, coupe, ute(styleside, sort of like an El Camino), a tray back (as we call them, a 1 tonner) and as a Panelvan. They are a bit like a second gen camaro in the front end but with a 4 link coil rear end in the sedans and wagons. I can post some more pics if you want.No Replacement for Displacement

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
