What does he have the guage hooked up to? I dont have oxygen sensors. I believe a wideband sensor is the best bet for accuracy but they can be expensive. Is this correct?

So far I have found kits for about $180. I dont need anything special because im running propane right? The sensor just senses air IIRC.

I tried looking into fuel ratio meters they are pricey but you only need to buy it once, then plug it off after you tune it, and save it for the next vehicle to tune.
I don't know the exact ratio for propane, but I was told you can really lean it out for mileage, or richen it up for power. I'm sure you can do some Google searching to figure out what you want.
I'm not at that point yet, I just got my flex-plate in should have my clutch disk this week.

Or just lean it out until it doesn't run the richen it up just a little.

Hey justin what software are you using for this?

Correct an old version of Solidworks.
I modeled a bunch of parts up all with a tape measure so not perfect but close enough to do what I'm doing.
Basically just want to lay out the rig then I'll make a jig to hold the mounts in place then just lay the tubes around it.
It is kind of a pain to model every thing I just assemble most of the stuff without constraints just floating and drag it around to where I want it.

I did make all the suspension links move able so all I need to do is change the stroke on the strut and I can flex out the suspension. tells me how close everything is. really helpful when trying to lay out the suspension.
I still need to put the numbers back into 4 link excel and see what I got.
I did it before I started but had to move the links all around.

No, Just kidding. I think my stepdad may have replaced some unit bearings on a superduty a little while back. Ill see if he still has them laying around.

Just got off the phone with him. He doesnt have them but he said my uncle just changed his and may have them. Ill let you know if he does.

Know if I can only find a spay C then I can have a stand alone jig.

Do you still need the unit bearing, I have it in my possession now.

If you are just going to throw it away I could use it.
