Mate for years I was the same as you - purist I mean. But after many years putting up with the cars not being able to be tuned properly on the really poor fuel I have in my (country NSW) area I decided to do something about it.
If the cars were only show cars or lived in the shed 90% of the time I wouldn't have bothered. But because I love driving them so much and do so at least a couple of days a week I couldn't live with the poor performance and very high fuel (plus additives) costs any longer.
The LPG conversion turned out even better than I ever expected and I would recommend it to anyone who is using their Esky as a regular driver. I'm so happy with the result that I will be doing the Capri as well in the very near future.
PS. I have kept all the original parts to hand on to my son if at any time in the future he feels the need to take the car off the road and fully restore it to original running gear. It's his baby from now on.
