    Converting a 1986 G30 Van for Expeditioning

    I will look for that gauge,  is it easy to install.  I don't know where to adjust.  I worked on those engines while in the service but they came with either high altitude or regular injector pump.  I believe there is a screw in the pump, am I right on that?  Thanks

    Converting a 1986 G30 Van for Expeditioning

    Well I have a little of black smoke as it accelerate, the filter is clan but those things were emission exempt when new so that I expect.   As it goes on high altitude (above 5,000 FT) then you get white smoke,  the higher up the more dense it get.  To the point that I was in  or near the grand...

    Converting a 1986 G30 Van for Expeditioning

    Yep the slide is from ARB.  Mileage?  not too crazy on a good day about 15 MPG in high altitude terrible and it smoke.  I was wondering since the pump is DB2 Manual if there is any adjustment that can be done to make it more efficient in High Altitude.  The military call for 45 PSI all around in...

    Hi Lina; Thanks for the compliments.  Like high desert said,  The no title may be an issue, unless you are planning to tag it in the same state.   Now this van are notorious for getting rusted, just like any other 31 year vehicle may be. I'm assuming that purchasing a vehicle from the northeast...

    cost of gas seeing 48 states

    Like other had posted.  There are too many variables in that question.  Your vehicle, speed, altitude, driving habits, state fuel prices and we can go on and on and on.  Now I can only talk to you by my experience. I have been to 46 US States including Canada and to 7 Canadian Provinces and...
