I just ordered the Sniper 2 to replace my classic Sniper EFI. My classic EFI has developed a bad injector. These Holley Videos are so well done and informative.
Very nice how to videos. I am looking forward to installing my complete sniper system when I install my 383 into my 76 corvette. I am really impressed by that distributor indexing tool. Sure beats the old school way of initial setting of timing.
I got the hyper spark distributor, holley hyperspark canister coil, and coil driver. This combination works as well and isn't nearly as expensive and the coil driver is alot smaller and easy to hide. No big box or coil besides the canister coil.
I'm still waiting for the timing control for hei distributor, so we can change the electronics in the top of the distributor and not change the distributor
you never exsplained what you did the two wires you took off the coil you taped up at the biggining of the video or does the new wire harness take the origanal harness
Mine stays at static setting after the first check? Can not get it to run 18 deg idle set. It clears, I cut it off, then when I shut it off, it back spins, which is essentially pumping my oil back out of the pump.
Finally got my upgrade for the Sniper with the Hyperspark. Can anyone tell me what are good numbers for AFR/ WOT /Idle/Cruise settings On our stock 87/95 350 engine 2 bolt main with the center bolt valve covers Stock GM roller Cam and the Street Warrior Intake. Not the Vortec heads. Got it as a rebuilt. Idles at 700/750 just boring as heck. I wonder if Holley is going to come up with a EFI version for the Sniper for those of us that have mild stock small blocks like the 350. My aunt likes all her stuff same brand likes the Sniper Logo would change out the intake and anything else with this logo in a second. She sees everything as jewelry so all this just for the logo its her 64 C10 Fleet Short.
The instructions states not to plug the pink 12v switch on the coil positive tho, I’m installing the EFI sniper and the distributor and before I move to locate a wire from the ignition switch can you clarify please thanks
Very good video, I still have a bunch of questions that would probably only apply to my application, if there's a way to have a conversation about this please let me know.
Im curious how many people have switched to the hyperspark and have had success. Im still just running a hot hei. Would love timing controls but not sure about opening that can of worms
So do you install the distributor pointing at number one spark plug terminal or do you install it slightly ahead of that so you can turn back the distributor to make the clear cap fit? It seems like he would just install it with the rotor pointing at number one spark plug terminal.
Where can I buy that rotor phasing tool for a Chevy distributor clock wise rotation. I had to remove the intake and install a new balancer. This is the first time I work on this system. It was already on the car. I set the distributor at TDC set #1 wire right smack at where the rotor was pointing to on the cap and it ran real bad. Some popping out of the throttle body and the exhaust sounded funky and sounded like a pop corn making machine. I worked on it for a few hours and now I know why it ran funky. Should I redo the entire setup using the wizard? What would be a good initial timing for a BBC with a street/strip camshaft? Please any info would help but please let me know where I can get that tool.
@@jasonshields1908 I have one for ford, I called Holley and they sent me both forms and Chevy for free. I gave the one for Chevy to the owner of the car kept the Ford.
Hard question. How are your mechanical skills and wiring skills. If you're familiar with wiring and diagrams you can preplan and have it done in a few hours.
Same here I have a 69 c20 sbc 400 with the Edelbrock 450hp kit and roller cam. I have heard that the duel plan intakes do not work good with the EFI. Or is that a misunderstanding on my part ?
It means no other accessories are connected with the switched 12 volt source that could induce voltage drops or spikes or RF interference. If you're not sure if yours is a clean source, use a relay with source from the battery and triggered by ignition switch.
If you want to control the timing with the sniper setup, yes. But, you can use Holley sniper EFI with a standard HEI, or coil. You just won’t be able to tune timing with the computer.
Amazing how you magically changed from female distributor cap terminal sparkplug wire ends to male distributor cap terminal sparkplug wire ends when changing the distributor. Should have mentioned that detail.
there is so much automotive knowledge contained in these Holley videos
👍🏻
Thank you Holley!! These videos are highly apreciated by car people. Wery helpfull.
You're so welcome!

I am considering installing the Sniper 2 plus this Hyperspark system. Your clear instructions make this job much easier! Thanks Jeremy!

These videos are great. I might actually ditch my carb and go EFI

Great presentation and superb walk thru. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
What do you do if you don't have the hyperspark distributor option?
Couldn't you use the coil driver included in the sniper efi master kit?
I'm thinking of going with this efi system for my 71 f250 it should work great!.
you never exsplained what you did the two wires you took off the coil you taped up at the biggining of the video or does the new wire harness take the origanal harness
How is 1.1.35 higher than 1.1.7 ??
35 is 28 more than 7, software version separators are not decimal points
Where would you hook up the tack wire ?

I have the holly sniper efi hyperspark ignition box only no there holly products and want to connect it but can I
Do you set the timing even though on zero?If you got a comp?Cam
Holley, lemme know if you need to borrow my 72c10 to do a how to video for this exact setup😀
How do I determine what my wide open timing should be?
in Using Holley Hyperspark with a Dakota Digital Tachometer, how do you connect the Tach wire from the tach to ? Brown tach output wire
What throttle bracket is used since Holley doesn’t offer one?
The instructions states not to plug the pink 12v switch on the coil positive tho, I’m installing the EFI sniper and the distributor and before I move to locate a wire from the ignition switch can you clarify please thanks
Is it possible to run the hyper spark box and coil with out the throttle body and use the stock carb
Very good video, I still have a bunch of questions that would probably only apply to my application, if there's a way to have a conversation about this please let me know.

I've had Hyperspark for year now and love
I’m the same way. I just ordered these three, so hopefully it is better than my HEI
Curious im moving the battee to the right rear side of my car. Whats the proper way to extend the wire to reach the post for the battery.
Another great video!
If I got a Holley efi for my 403 do I need a cam?
So do you install the distributor pointing at number one spark plug terminal or do you install it slightly ahead of that so you can turn back the distributor to make the clear cap fit? It seems like he would just install it with the rotor pointing at number one spark plug terminal.
I learned something. Thanks.
@HolleyPerformance do you make a distributor that fits a Toyota 22r

Any luck finding that phasing tool? Misplaced mine and desperately looking for one..

How many hours to install the sniper kit? Car is 1968 Camaro 427
Hard question. How are your mechanical skills and wiring skills. If you're familiar with wiring and diagrams you can preplan and have it done in a few hours.
If you jump into it thinking it's as easy as plugging it in you may be sitting for days.
Nice

@MG Thank you. I’ll have to check out that video
1964.5?
Can you install the hyperspark distributor without the ignition box? Will the sniper efi control timing if you do?
No
What is a clean switched 12 volt ignition source? I have no idea what that combination of words means
It means no other accessories are connected with the switched 12 volt source that could induce voltage drops or spikes or RF interference. If you're not sure if yours is a clean source, use a relay with source from the battery and triggered by ignition switch.
i already have an msd billet dizzy.. can i use it with this cd box/coil?
Yes!
The real question is why does something that costs a fraction of what it cost to make a cheap 4bbl carb cost 4 times as much?
Is the controller box required to use the distributor?
If you want to control the timing with the sniper setup, yes. But, you can use Holley sniper EFI with a standard HEI, or coil. You just won’t be able to tune timing with the computer.
Is a hyperspark distributor available for a 351W based Ford engine
Yes, they have one in aluminum or in black powder coat.
Use our coil .... but Im not
Stop yelling at me
😆

Just a shame they suffer from RFI on Fords
Slow tf down speaking dude
god damn shit to god damn expensive
