Since the relative density is greater than 1, but less than 2, it is "considered" slightly heavier than air. Yes, it will sink and find low lying areas, but it is not heavy enough to *quickly* dissipate. Especially considering the confined area inside the passenger compartment of a vehicle, or the engine compartment, it is not something to treat lightly. The Upper and Lower explosive limits of Propane are 9.5% and 2.1% respectively, so a small amount is all it takes. Once you get lower than the LEL, you are fairly safe, but being above the UEL not nearly as safe since a change in wind would decrease the concentration.

(Gotta wait for home improvements to be done). What I have done is to get all of the catalogs that I can. I have made a spreadsheet list of all of the parts I want to get. I then listed the supplier, page number, and price of each item. I intend to contact each supplier and let them know what I want to get and what the sum total of the lowest price of each item is and ask them if they want to make a package deal at that price. If not I will simply be making several smaller orders from all the suppliers rather than one. Tom H. > > I thought LMC had the better prices.

Gotta wipe the drool away now. I would point out that the red 77 look like it was pieced together from several sources. The grille is pre-76 and the front fenders are pre-77. The fact that he mentions steering valve being replaced makes me wonder if the steering is the early power ram setup.
