The Sniper "Stealths" do not have a built in regulator.

I assume there was no way to do that and still maintain the Stealth appearance of a carburator, so you'll need a regulator in the system. No big deal.

You can mount it anywhere you want, back at the tank or up near the Sniper unit. I will say though that it's recommended as close to the Sniper unit as you can, with a full length return. That will give you the most accurate fuel pressure for the unit to operate, among other reasons.

It does work with a regulator setup at the tank with a very short return if that's really the way you want to go.

I was leaning towards the super stealth only because my air clean drops down a lot to clear the hood insulation. It has notches in the front & back for the conventional bowls, so I was hoping the super stealth would fit under it with no mods. But maybe I would be better with the regular sniper & modifying the air cleaner setup. Hmmmm

The stealth will fit most any factory air cleaner that was originally equipped with a holley, or made for a holley.

I have the factory cowl induction air cleaner over my Sniper and works great, and dad uses an L88 air cleaner assembly that also fit the Sniper perfectly.

I had a Spyder,1977 and yellow, like that in high school. I loved that car. One day I will find another one. That looks great. Mine was manual steering and no A/C. I will probably put an EFI on my Firebird in the future.

Thats what I had in high school. Prior to me purchasing mine in 1985, it was only 8 years old & getting pretty rusty form the Wisconsin Winters. Looked good, but door seams were already letting go on the bottoms. Lots of great memories. Dropped a tired 350 in with a cam, intake & carb to replace the anemic 140hp 305 & the fun factor went way up. Then started looking for one 20 years later & it was nearly impossible to find a nice one. By chance of fate / luck I found one out of Florida. Low miles & ron solid. All the plastic & rubber was dried up, but completely rust free. So I started a 3 year restoration on it.
You almost had to own one of these cars to have any interest in them. Kind of a cult thing I suppose. Extremely hard to find nice used & NOS parts for. The car was easy to restore, but getting parts was another story. I am guessing thats not getting any easier as whats out there ends up in a few more of these H bodies. Probably near the bottom on the collectibility scale, but thats not why I wanted it.

I have another set of wheels I run as well as the rallies in the pic.
