propane install?

[chevdoug]

I am finally getting some time to work on my 77.
I have most of the propane parts installed, My question is about the electrical hook up, how have you guys done this? I had an electric choke on my edelbrock, I could use that, but I was thinking about running a toggle switch. I have a set up (switch/relay/fuse/etc..)from a set of driving lights I don't have any plans for the moment. What do you think?

Also, anyone not running the hoses to the heater core? I managed to break off one of the inlets, so was going to try bypassing it, until I replace the heater core.

Any other tips would be great

if you mean hooking the elct. solinoid to the choke ,dont do it,not enough power at cranking to keep valve open, i run mine off batt. power at alternator, also my heater is disconected, coolent comming off thermostat ,to top of radiator....this mommas PC,this is from me

you can run straight to a toggle switch, most lockoff valves only run around 1amp so it's not a big power hog...

my service truck is the old portland swat team truck. i put a system to run propane and gas on the carb engine. i didnt know if you were doing the same or just propane. i can give you some tips on the system as i put the whole system with all kinds of diff parts i found around the shop.
