Holden Calais LPG conversion
It's best to choose a reputable brand, one that has been on the market for some time, and it should be a sequential injection system. Holden uses an Impco system, and that's certainly one to consider, but there are others as well. To find an installer go to the LPG system manufacturers' websites and get the list of their accredited people. It's always a good idea to talk to other people who have made the same conversion you are planning, and get their recommendations on systems and installers.
