Undefeated

Yes it’s going well .. wonder what kens thinking? Think we went to school together? Or that yellow 302 Mazda from the older brother rings a bell from the 90s at saint patty’s blktwn? Great, but show us some insight on how these times were achieved with the Bonnet up, either way.. single 4brl??

So here’s another cool feature that can plug into with the Holley sniper EFI.. its obvious holleys new roll out has been well thought out.

Still playing with other aspects of the car before installing. in this video theres Some intresting aspects, it’s a Blo Thru Turbo 6cyl..video shows some set up including the return line dumping into the filler hose.

I’m going to put this link in here for future reference.

I’m trying to figure all that atm.. which dissy to run. (Side note: yes I’m aware of a std Barra that recently run 350hp with just a carb and cams here in QLD ..but im no drag racer, it’s intresting to see what may be out there for the future.) Back on topic: for ignition control , it’s going to have to come latter. here’s the video of the Holley tech rep showing Phasing and dwell.. atm I’m scratching my head TBH as to what Distributor to run.. EST , TFI. I’m checking on Holley Sniper forums and seeing what USA Ford guys are doing, I will probably contact Holley directly and put it to them. In years to come people can look at this...hindsight makes a expert.

Well finally that Walbro fuel pump arrived today with the mounting kit, so now it’s time to start working on the car.

That sounds like a cool way to go.. I havnt fitted it in yet, still waiting on the fuel pump

Nothing wrong with a belt driven dizzy, the old v8 928 Porsche runs a dual distributor set up that’s belt driven...

Exactly, the big filler hose gets a simple plumb into it ,and the return squirts in there. (nothing to do with the tank venting /charcoal system) the complex part for me atm is working out what air cleaner system to run, and how I’d like this motor to look, I like the idea of a blow thru style carb hat connected to a k&N pod or cold air box, but a nice air filter looks good too...and to be making sure I’ve got the right dizzy and Holley connector with plugs and leads to run programable ingnition.. it’s recomended to just do the 4 wire hook up first.. so a lot of guys don’t run the ignition side of Sniper EFi I noticed..( if not controlling timing, that’s a simple 4 wire hook up) and whats up with everybody bagging REDLINE??! This is a good little Aussie company success story.. who has supported the crossflow motor and others, and I’m happy to have there products on my old car..changing to any manifold is not going to net much on a street motor, the efi should atomise better than a 40yo old carb. .https://www.redlineauto.com.au/t-about.aspx

It’s a Return line system.. same as normal EFI..the return line runs back to the tank. It runs a reg inside the Carb so no reg required to run it NA. there is many instal vids on YouTube, as I do each part will link a video on that subject.

It’s a return line system.. the feed runs into the fuel tank, above the tank. ( where you pump fuel when you fill up there is a large hose between the tank and your rear licence plate.. the return hose plumbs into that)

Thanks Ando, very goodinfo. I probably will run it a little fat ( no “Hollywood runs” here) I remember talking to ultra flow 15years back , It was made for even flow, I think he wanted about $650 back then. I’m interested to try different manifolds down the road.. ATM I have yet to figure out the best way to intergrate the sniper ignition timing control..EST /TFI...Probably the XF distributor and I think , I need to order a specific connector with all that. It’s a latter addition.

So last piece of the puzzle before installing, I decided to do my own fuel system. I believe the fuel pump Holley normally supplied with Sniper are Walbro pumps.. Looking at what others have done, and for a good budget pump , I ordered the Walbro GSL392 ( 255) and in-line mounting kit.

I’ve spoken with them as I’ve had a few of there manifolds through in both 2brl and 4brl versions..but that’s the thing, as a starting point there’s a lot of 250 out there with the Redline manifold. I think I will hold off on another manifold ATM, because I may use this Holley Sniper EFi to simplify fitting in a much newer motor, and that may require a Aussie Speed manifold.

I would do it if you can before they put Tax on everything
