Thread: Ignition HT Leads for LPG / Dual Fuel RR Classic 91

Those should be OK. AFAIK the Magnatec(sp?) are the bees knees, but expensive.

I have 9mm leads on mine (can't remember what brand).

I have been told by the mechanic who installed my LPG system that the plugs should be changed every 10k and the leads every 40k(whatever brand). This is to ensure thay are in top working condition.

Hi Andrew,
Struth 10K for Plugs and 40K for leads.... That takes the profit out of the LPG a bit, hey?
Had a feeling that there would be a catch when using such a dry fuel...
That's a whopper.

That is only their "recomendation". I think it is more to cover them to stop the possibilty of backfires detsroying the AFM.

I should probably do both now.

Oh well- it's only a tank and a half of ULP.

Andrew

A tank and a half - ? - This week anyway.
This has gone past scary, real scary.....

Shirley......

Its Magnacor.
I have had mine for 8 years still going strong. And they are the 7MM?, the smaller black ones anyway. So good value at $125 or whatever I paid.

Gasmaster are very good as well; check their website.

Hi Phillip,
Well everything worked out better than I had ever hoped. Heaps of power, super smooth, easy to start and good economy.
I went with the NGK BPR6ES (Slightly colder heat range) The Bosch 7.0 mm leads (5 year warranty) $120.00 and put a new Plenum Hose on between the Mixer Ring and the AFM.
The old hose actually had holes in it that could not be seen.
I put a rubber ball in one end of the hose and then filled it with water. Well it was like a shower.
Now I know why it was hard to tune.
Anyway, put a new Air Filter in as well and opened the high speed valve 1/4 turn and took it for a run.
It was awesome. It was like someone put a rocket under the back of the thing and no more backfiring, smooth Idle and easy to start.
Anyway, I found a guy locally that was trained in Germany and Finland who has some very good backing by a lot of the local 4WD owners that have had conversions done by him, all reckon he is tops.
I have the truck booked in for a Diagnostic and adjustment to fine tune the system for the best combination as I just richened everything up so make sure that I was getting enough gas to stop any stray backfires.
He reckoned I did well but it was best to make sure it was not set too rich and set it up for the best all round performance and economy.

ere, he took a look at the installation that was done by the original guy, screwed his face up and commented that it wasn't a pretty job at all, so it's booked in for Friday morning for some refinement.
Really happy about the way it is running now. I pulled the Holden lifters out and put R/Rover ones in which immediately stopped the noises and clatter and I don't have to wait for oil pressure to build up any more when I first start it in the morning. It starts clean now with no noise at all. The way it was supposed to be in the first place.
I gave the Holden 308 lifters to a mate of mine who is doing up his HZ and was glad to be rid of them.
Definitely not a suitable substitute for Range Rover at all.......
A costly learning process but what was learned was well worth it...
Cheers,
Shirley..
