I don't think you can. The nos tank supplies liquid and the propane tank supplies a gas. The diffence is the pickup in the tank, nos goes to the bottom and propane is at the top. I do not know what would happen if liquid propane would reach the engine. If I am wrong please straighten me out.

A propane tank give gas if it is uprigth, but if you trun it upsidedown you get liquid. I think some one will step in and clear this up.

Correct.....you would have to remove the siphon tube in the nitrous bottle AND mount the bottle standing up. MUCH easier to use the small propane bottle. Ab...I told you what you needed....what's the hold up ?

Liquid propane might not be too bad, it should provide more hp. There might be a compatability problem with any o-rings or seals in the valve. Anyone interested in a propane bottle,(5lb), bracket, gauge and both hoses?

Gerald:

what did your clutch and flywheel look like when you changed them? By the way, PaulS found a spare slave cylinder line and cut it apart. The line did not have the restriction that the GM cars have.

Well there wasn't much left of the clutch...and the flywheel had a couple of hot spots on it...I went back with the stock set-up on both...
