Thread: Visual Effects for my 67' Chevelle

Tweet

Hello,
My dad and i have a 67 Chevelle and wanna add a little visual effects when we show it off to our friends so we were thinking of making a propane flame kit. What we were thinking was to take the hook-ups to our old propane grill and add some sort of air/gas solenoid to give it bursts of propane to the exhaust lines with a spark plug hook up about a foot after. We thought it would be the safest because of the back-spill protection propane valves have on them these days and because the fumes will not back up into the exhaust manifold into the engine. The only problem is we have no idea what the best way to go about this is or what the easiest and safest way would be. If you could please reply or email me (snowboard1440@hotmail.com) with your suggestions.

Thank You

I much prefer tire tracks and smoke as a visual.

picture says it all. these cars burn LPG out of the pipes, they are very complicated, and they have to run heat shields on the rear, just so the paint don't boil. but they are cool

There are kits made for it, I think I would try to think of something else other then a flame thrower..... Most places they are quite unpopular with the cops. I guess I figure a tastefully done car with decent horsepower makes all the statement that needs to be made.... IMO flame throwers are right up there with train horns, down right TACKY!!!!

yup gotta, agree. the kits, use the ignition cut off, to burn fuel in the pipes, bad for the engine.

but I watch the propane burners every year, at Syracuse Nat's ( I took the above pic ), once a year, and that's enough for the year, they are cool to watch.
