Converting Propane Powered V12 back to D-jetronic
All,
I own a 75 XJ12C which had been converted to run on propane. All of the gasoline components such as gas tanks, fuel pump, fuel rails, computers and map sensor.
I bought a 79 S2 XJ12 parts car this weekend which I'll have to part pretty soon. I plan on pulling the whole engine, computers, tanks etc before I scrap it. I'm worried about wiring. What else do I need to take?
Thanks
Al

I did that 20 years ago, NEVER again, fair dinkum tooooooo hard.
It will depend on how the propane set up was done. IF they simply unplugged the connectors and tucked them away, you are on really easy street. Ours had been cut off, and long gone. Total rewire needed, took 3 months.
If the donor car has to leave the world soon, take as much as you can, as some of the stuff for the D Jetronic is sooooo hard to find these days.
The list will be long, but those are what bounced around my old brain quickly.

The propane is fed through the throttle body and therefore removing it from the intake, and removing the tanks should get rid of the propane kit.
I'll still need to install fuel tanks, computers, map sensors and wiring harnesses regardless of whether you swap the drive train or not so I won't be buying anything if do that.
