Thanks for all the help guys!
Will give you a report on how it turns out once I have the rest of the car back together as I am currently cleaning up the rear end.
Here is a picture of what I did with the engine, picture take about a year ago.
64 classic 770

I have installed a electric pump in my '64 classic as parts are hard to come by here in Australia. I have also adapted electric wipers using a mitsubishi wiper motor and spare fan switch I had in my parts box.
You need to fit a inline filter at the engine for ease of servicing and make sure the pressure is not too high or you will give the needle and seat a hard time. I cannot notice the pump running once the engine starts with dual stainless exhaust. I have also fitted a lpg lockoff controller, i think they call it propane is the US? which basically primes the fuel then looks for a pulse from the coil to recognise that the engine is running before the pump keeps going, it may not be necessary but I thought it was a good idea in case of a broken fuel line etc.
