[SEL] old engines on Propane question

[Steve Gray]

Hi Harry -

My ignition parts and (indirectly) the plans for the demand valve came 
from a gent in Colorado. I'm fairly sure he's the one that supplied the 
valve info, since I actually got the plans from a fellow model builder 
here in this area. The address I have is:

Model Project Plans & Kits
Jerry E. Howell
3980 Becket Drive
Colorado Springs, CO  80906

The blue prints for the valve were originally conceived and drawn by:

Richard Williams
39459 Crawfordsville Drive
Sweet Home, OR 97386

I have no idea if this guy is still at this address. I just put up 3 
pictures of the valve I made at:

The four 6-32 screws will eventually be steel 6-32 miniature bolts.

The Blackstone is a 3 1/2 HP gasoline only. Sure runs good! Thanks for 
the compliments.

TTYL

- Steve
