I like Carburetors better, this Sniper EFI is killing me! This is my experience with it, just mine.. 

I think I’m gonna stick to carbs.

Props for getting outside your comfort zone, Brad! I've seen the best on the Tube struggle with this system, it's definitely a learning curve.

I've watched your videos for a year and I'm positive you'll figure this out Brad 👍 I'm with you, there is no way in hell I would cough up 4,000 bucks to purposely cause myself headaches. I've seen too many RU-vidrs have the same problems as you. Keep up the great work and the cool videos ✌️🇺🇲

Brad, you're a straight up no nonsense guy. I'm with you on this one. I'm old school with my old Mopars and give me a good Holley or a Brawler 4 barrel any day. I'm sure there are sniper magicians out there but I am not and just want the old school vibe for myself. If I wanted fuel injection rack and pinion steering and all kind of high technology I'd buy a new car. For everyday driving I have modern vehicles but these old cars for me are toys. If someone wants all that,I'm all for them. As always,I enjoy your videos. Mopar to ya!

Been there Brad fought a system for weeks on a buddy’s C10 small block truck, finally reinstalled his AVS edelbrock and manual fuel pump, couldn’t be happier, system kept loosing memory if voltage dropped just a bit , than it flooded the motor for no apparent reason , that was the last straw.

For me it will be carburetor only. Thanks for another great video

Getting out of your comfort zone takes a lot of balls. At least you tried you all will get it running.

The cleanest install of lines and filter that I've seen on any build.Hope it's something simple to adjust and it runs like you want in a few minutes.

Thanks for the tip on how to pull out the torsion bar. I have always been holding the bar with a pipe wrench and beating it backwards. Your way seems alot easier. You deserve getting a lot of views on your videos. Keep them coming 😊

A brutally honest summing up Brad,Topman.

Carburetors, Dual point distributors, and Red line BIAS PLYS! How I want to enjoy my Mopars!!!

You will work it out!! You have the Drive Brad!!! Will be watching!👌👍😊

I’ve heard more bad than good about the sniper and after seeing all the bs in the kit no thanks! I’ll stick with my carburetor. Always dig watching your videos Brad.

Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎

Thanks for another , Brother !

I’m a Holley fan man I been through some problems but got em working !!! Man I love all your mopars

Brad, I'm with your thoughts. I drive new vehicles every day and if I still had an oldie, I would stay with fewer wires and carbs, and Edelbrock makes one of the smoothest, simple carbs out there.

They defiantly have issues with the connectors were the injectors plug in, take the sides off and you will see

Dd speed shop had issuse with his too

Gonna try mounting the Sniper 2 on with the engine on a run stand first, get it semi dialed in, then mount it in the car, drop the engine in, and go for it. Brad, you’re the real deal. Someone else may have glossed it over, got help, and gave us the impression they were car Gods.

I'm working on a 66 Mustang. I like old school stuff

I saw some channel first install the first sniper then moved on to the next level up kit and from what he showed,he had to change almost everything except the fuel lines! Like nothing worked with the systems being interchangeable from one to two! Wtf?!? That sounds like a lot of extra money and b.s. wasted especially if you can't easily upgrade the old system with the new one with a few tweeks. I think they said it's easy to put the fuel return on top of the gas tank cuz usually our Mopar's have rotten trunks and we should easily just do it through the rot 😂 lmao! It would've worked on my 72 barracuda for sure! Lmao! Yeah, wrenching is bitter sweet!🤔 Lmfao she was abused young and you talked sweet to her,😅 sounds like an ex I had, more trouble than what she was worth for sure!😞🤣 Thanks again!

Props for getting outside your c

I hear you 100%, they are complicated, but you can’t think carb when setting up a tbi. I’ve went through this on a 408 in my ‘79 Lincoln. I’ve swapped in a 557, with the sniper 4500 now, the only way I get an idle circuit with dominator style air/fuel volumes. The only way I can get the distributor to advance or pull timing too. Keep at it, and the tuners with the lap top software can dial in way more than we can with the touch screen. I had piles of headaches with it, and through the process of swapping to an 800hp stroker, found other setup issues with the fuel system, grounding, and tank venting that effected performance and tuning where I thought it was all sniper. Great channel btw, cheers!

Fitech is almost the same I don't care for them keep the faith you'll figure it out SEMPER FI HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER

that switched power supply you need i would run direct from the battery and use a relay to trigger it that way you can use any power to control the relay

I WENT BACK TO D DEAMON ON MY DART.

Good work , looks like more work then it's worth... old school carb brother. Or a 6.1 hemi swap. Probably an easier swap then that kit lol.

Aw Brad the Sniper2 is out that is supposed to address alot of the issues from the first incarnation...Bad timing but maybe you had it for a bit already.

I’ve had a terminator TBI / HP ecu set up since 2013. When you’re tuning fuel turn the closed loop / learn compensation limits down to a low %, if the Idle isn’t stable. The TPS can also be glitchy at idle tip in.

Brilliant idea using the tank strap bolts!!!

i think that Holley should get all the information about the car and the engine and preinstall a startup tune when you get it from that let it learn and improve would save a lot of problems

My Neighbor Just spent a month doing a dual Sniper on a Tunnel Ram, had all kinds of problems, but finally figured it out. He almost put the Carbs back on !! Think the only reason he stuck with it was because of the amount of Money he spent to put it on. BTW Heard a lot of Bad words next door for several nights LOL

technology is good but I prefer to use an old carbureted car, it's fun, it has its problems but they are easier to get us home when they have problems.

Good job Brother! TIP; NEVER BELIEVE THE MEDIA! 😁

I'm with you Brad, I'll stick to a well tuned carb for the classics. Too much electronics on cars anymore, that's why we like the old stuff so we can get away from all that.

Dan at DD Speed Shop gave up on his and put carbs on his !!

I feel your pain 🥺. I'm 🤔 the same way with new stuff. Good 🤞 luck with the project 😃. Thanks for sharing 😊.

Had I known, I would have sent you the Sniper Hyperspark from my Road Runner. I finally gave up and took it off my own 440, put the whole thing in the trunk and went back to a carb. Personally, I can't stand the system.

Leave it the way Ma MOPAR made it she knows best . 👍🏻💯🇦🇺⛽️

Brad that was a total amazing. This sniper was a whole bunch of bunk. Hope you can get it figured out my man. Semper Fi Love the Cornett. Thanks for sharing. 💯👍👊🙏🏻

Give me the old 750 dubb/pumper.🤪😎🤠🤷

To bad it's the first edition. Lot of problems, which you found out. I do like your meticulous work!

I get your overwhelming feeling. Being in Europe, I was on my own on that one too back in 2017 when I installed mine. Like on your car, I needed fab lots of things to make a safe install. Including stuff Holley do not even speak about, like the must have inertia switch. 3 days at least. From what I see in this vid, looks to me you have multiple issues. Your blades likely not set as they should. Timing dist off and last but not least. You probably can see if it starts your AFR going 20-35. That will be fixed when you'll close your exhaust. But make sure your headers are air tight. Most US made exhaust are crap when it comes to welding and flange fitting precision, fine for carb, not for EFI. So triple check how they fit at the heads and if you can, ditch the flat classic headers collector by a round one so you do not pick "false" oxygen. Lastly, once it will run as it should, you will never want a carb ever again! thx for the vid.

If it isn't factory fuel injection it's a headache and if u jump start it u can burn up the computer....ask me how I no 👍

On your side Brad feel your pain . 🤦🏼

For that much money, I'd rather go with a six-pack setup.

Couldn't agree with you more I feel that the old car should actually be the way they were made not adding all this stuff on you put a computer on a car and leave it out in different climates of weather and what do you got computer failure

When I've seen others install those they installed fuel regulators. Also it doesn't learn unless it's at operating temperature.

Man you don’t need all that 💩to make your MOPAR run good old boy style . 💸

Stay safe with a carb.

Me I think keep old school simple is better In my opinion.

Love Your videos ! have you got a plasma cutter ?

Dude I put one on a foxbody and man the headaches started. It fired right up no problem and at times was awesome but like a BB mopar a SB ford has the distributor in the front and with a sniper 1st generation you will fight RF issues from now on. You can wrap in whatever you want and will still have intermittent RF issues. This is what I wanted to do was turn the sniper 180* with the computer in the rear and try that. Sure you gotta throttle cable it around but I just wondered if that would fix it? It doesn’t know what way it’s facing. Thankfully I sold the ford and lived happily ever after. Love your work and content but, man do I hate a sniper. TFNR

My first thought is youre getting too much fuel pressure to the throttle body. Have you checked that? I bet its going to be awesome once you figure it out.

Holley actually recommends installing just the basic system first, then adding the hyperspark ignition afterwards. I too, did it the way you did it. Couldn't get it to run right. Ended up stripping it all off, and starting with the basic system. Got that running great, added the hyperspark again and battled RFI. I'd get a brief power cut (No Data! display on handheld) and it would stall randomly. Pulled the hyperspark stuff off for now and will deal with that another day! Kinda dissapointing after spending the money on the entire hyperspark system.

Could you put the O2 in the collector? That way seemes easier and the header wouldn't be messed with.

Several things can improve that efi system use a Bosch 17025 02 sensor it's way better than the holley factory sensor also holley recommends you not use a dual plane intake and if you do run a 1 inch spacer on the intake or grind out the divider for better fuel atomization I used a spacer and the Bosch sensor then bought a progressive linkage to get a better primary to secondary response otherwise your 1 to 1 on them opening wear as a carburetor is more of a 60 40 sequence

Holly should make a better system. All I ever see is guys like you who know old cars installing those and having no luck and having to take it to someone. They had the same issues, poor running and motor stalling at any moment when the car is running. Hope you find the expert who can tune the thing.

Do all the things I've heard about them snipers is not good a lot of people that went to snipers changed it right back to carburetor cuz they did not like it so I believe me I know how you feel

I was hoping you would do efi for me

Cool idea for the fuel pump. Is there any shield or cover going in to keep mud out?

um how much of that transmission slip yoke is slid into the tailshaft housing on that thing?

If you don't mind me asking, is that a Raider paddle on your wall

do you know what a torsen bar puller looks like easy to build out of scrap parts

You gotta regulate the fuel...

Lmao its bung not bong your doin it wrong man you hit the bong and everything else is easy bro😉😆👻🤘

Have you called their tech line for help ?

Nothing against EFI if thats your thing and I'm an old dude and to me it's not worth the money and the pain in the ass just to install it. I would rather save the money for something else for my classic car so I would just stick to a carb it's cheaper and easy to work on.

Mustard yellow 🤢😆😆

Let us know how it ends up.

Listen up fellas, I had some hiccups with my Sniper, but I reached out to some guys that know a thing or two for help. You "old schoolers" can keep your carbs, my Swinger is a whole different animal with EFI on it. It cold starts and hot starts like a champ, driveability (?) is way better, elevation changes are no problem, and it's much safer with my centrifugal. Nothing is easy when you break out of a mold, but God hates a coward. He hates sin too, but that's a convo for another day. Spend the 4K, when you get the wrinkles ironed out, you won't regret it.
