converted my stove to LP now the oven flames?
The burners and broiler work great after a conversion from nat gas to LP, but the oven flames are way too high, I know this issue has come up before but i have yet to find the proper solution, the air mix valve (sorry for my bad terminology) has been adjusted from one end to the other but still high orange flames, its a Frigidaire brand, the regulator was swapped over, the burner orifices were changed and the orafice at the broiler was turned down the the LP setting.
Please Help, im going nuts here

When you converted from natural gas to LP gas, did you just change the feed lines or did you also change out the orifices?
Each burner has an orifice. Natural gas has less heat content / standard volume (KCal / cu meter or BTU / standard cu ft) than does LP gas. Because of this, the orifice, which actually limits gas flow, is larger in diameter for natural gas than for LP gas, permitting a greater flow of natural gas than LP gas.
I suspect you did not replace the orifices. Contact a reliable appliance parts supplier for Frigidaire and get suitable orifices for each burner including the oven and broiler. Check the service manual for instructions on how to safely install them.
