    Sniper Coolant Temperature Probe Location?

    There could have been an aftermarket gauge installed sometime in the last 53 years for sure.

    Sniper Coolant Temperature Probe Location?

    OK - this may end up being a long post, so I appreciate your patience. I am also admittedly medium-skilled when it comes to the Chevy 350. I have had a million cars and bikes; this is my first GM product. The issue is that the proper locations for the Sniper temperature probe (on the right or...

    Vac Advance - Yes or No?

    My 1970 GMC C2500 has a 350 engine with a HEI distributor and a Holley Sniper. My buddy is a wrench at a classic car shop and helps me out once in a while. First time that he looked under the hood he called me an idiot for not having the vac advance connected (the previous owner swore that is...

    Sniper In My 1970 GMC

    I added the 1" extension throttle bracket kit this morning. WOW! What a difference! The only hard part was getting one of the bolts in place with my sausage fingers and poor eyesight. I won't go as far to say that it was un-driveable, pre-backet..... but it was hard getting past the "stiff"...

    Sniper In My 1970 GMC

    Wondering if this 1972 sending unit w/ vent fitting would fit into my 1970 in cab tank? I'd want to use the vent line to connect my sniper's return fuel line back into the tank & toss the janky set up that I fabricated:

    Yeah, that plug was stuck. In the interest of getting her running, that's where the sensor ended up. Here is a mystery, my temp quage is still getting signal from somewhere?!

    Sniper In My 1970 GMC

    Just wanted to add, I had a built up 700R4 tranny installed. She's like a whole nother truck now! Does anyone have experience with a Lokar cable throttle on this type of set up? With the stock throttle linkage there is resistance in the first 1/8 of the pedal throw. Easing over this hump is...

    Sniper In My 1970 GMC

    Again, not technically a Squarebody....... but with a few hickups, she is in and exceeds expectations! Again, not officially a squarebody, but as someone once said "square enough". This kit exceeds all expectations. I had some trouble getting the return fitting sealed into the hole that I...

    700R4 Speedo Issue

    Which Holley EFI model are you referring to? Mine is Part # 550-510K and she is finally shipping. I can say that I am more than a little trepidatious, pending the install and outcome. I appreciate your experience and advice.... even if it may not be what I want to hear! Thank you also for...
