95 piston lp? low pressure?

im kinda low on cash right now and i was going to yank the afc lever out of the truck but i dont want to run the pump dry. i have a 95 12v parts truck and my question is that is the piston lp on that truck a low pressure unit. also is everything on that truck what i need to do th conversion, like the spacer the line and so on.

Mostly no. The spacer will work and the pump will work with a regulator, but that's it.

what he said^^^ if you don't run a regulator you will blow the front seal out of the VE pretty quick.

I thought the piston LP came in low and high pressure flavors, and the low pressure LP could be used without a regulator.

A 3/4 or 1 ton truck produced by dodge? NO

A medium duty truck or motor home? Probably.
