I tend to discourage multi-fuel conversions. It's an efficiency losing compromise which yields less than satisfactory results. For LPG/propane only, you'll need...

... either a Garretson KN or Impco model J regulator. The Garretson regulator is only a single stage, so that route requires a second, high pressure reg. It's also more expensive. The Impco model J is a dual stage reg, so purchasing a second reg is unnecessary - the Impco however, requires replacing the blue spring for an orange one (about $3).

After you buy the regulator, you'll need to modify the carb. This entails replacing the gasoline main jet (spud) with a one that has a larger orifice. (scroll down about half a page):

These folks list the carb jets, 'spuds':

Another option which doesn't require carb mods, but is also less efficient:
