Propane converter (left - not original equipment).  The pair of hose that cross the picture from the top of the converter are water lines that prevent the propane from freezing the converter.  The uppermost connection is the incoming liquid propane.  The large hose from the bottom is the propane vapor line that leads to the carburetor.  The ignition coil can be seen at the upper right.  This engine was converted to burn propane gas in about 1969 or 1970 as determined by the 1969 date of manufacture stamp on the propane tank that accompanied the siren.  All of this equipment is in working order as evidenced by the running of this engine on April 2, 2003.
