Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Only to realise you left all those switches on overnight and you have flattened the battery :doh:I get in the race car...
turn on the power arm the battery
turn on both the fuel pumps
turn on the fan switches
turn on the ignition
power up the instruments (by turning the key a tad)
set power to the starter motor via a big red missile switch
and push the button
And LPG high pressure line retaining clips.Sorry OP for thread hijacking but...
I like the power wire retaining clips they look very similar to power steering line retaining clips Looks good

Yes, it is vacuum operated, but the spring applies pressure to the secondary air flap (not the secondary throttle plate) and allows you to tune out the dreaded "bog" common to 253s running any carb rated too large for them. The secondary throttle plate will still open when called upon, but the amount of air available to it will be restricted....not starved as such.
why would it be? primary and secondary metering are completely seperate from each other. locking that flap means the secondary rods dont lift, thus no extra fuel, no extra air. youre basically running a 230CFM twin barrel.
granted, its not gonna deliver extreme power, but if over carburation becomes a problem, its the easiest fix.
itll be fine to get around with. just tighten up the secondary butterfly spring real tight so it rarely opens.
