Bob,
I agree. My 71 142E gets 25/26 around town and at least 28 on the freeway. I have OD and large diameter tires(205/65/15). The engine is original, with the low compression modification installed in the early 70's. It has never been apart except for that mod. I also have the Perlux electronic ignition unit, which I believe to be an imperative install for all of you guys out there.

Please pardon my crude expression taken from my experience in the USMC:

"She runs as smooth as a prom queen's thighs....."

However, in this case, I do believe that it is perfectly applicable due to the installation of the perlux electronic ignition coupled with the D-jet system.

If I was in the US, I would look for help in optimizing your brick instead of going for a propane conversion.
Just my $0.02

Jeremy
