Forgot to mention guys,I live in sunny Darwin,where every thing is double what you guys down south pay.Yeah,I'm pretty sure it's an Impco system.I converted the car just before I left Melbourne in 92.Lp 1 in Lillydale did the conversion.God I wish they had a branch up here.

Thanks for the welcome guys.Update on my LPG problem.LP GAS1 in Lillydale have sold me a safety cut out online and told me to try that first.They told me they doubt the converter is shot,so fingers crossed that will fix the problem.
