timing on propane engine
i have a 1994 f250 351w c6 on propane only. previous owner had dual fuel then decided to go with straight propane; removed both gas tanks. i don't know what else, if anything was removed.
i need to get this truck through emissions testing and so i am giving it new : cap, rotor, plugs, wires, air filter, and oil change.
my question is : what should the timing be set at for this engine to run on propane ? i am not even sure if it has a spout connector on this year but, if it does, should it be disconnected ?
the truck actually runs fine (except for an up-and-down idle during warm-up only) but it's due for the tune-up anyway.

usually propane powered engines timing is set a few degrees early... if you can find a local propane distributer. that sells or knows a installer. they will be able to give you the correct settings.
if you ever need to remove the heads, have them shaved or do it right ... install high compression pistons and rods... 12:1 would be a good place to set the engine up for, as propane has 105+ octane....
the higher compression will give you more power and mileage...
