With an EFI pump, and bypass regulator with a carb, you have to run 1/2" line for both feed & return, or the return won't bypass enough (can't get psi down far enough for carb).

This post is just to show that the sniper works. It took me HOURS to set it up and to get it to run right and I don’t trust it. $1500 and you can buy the unit, the distributor, and the CDI box. It’s a complete matched Holley hyperspark set. I can’t hide all those wires and they wrecked the way my engine compartment looks. I had to move them all over to not get RFI interference and to get it to run well.

Right now you're fixated on the wiring. Put a big air cleaner on it and forget about it.

I really don’t like it. There are wires going everywhere in my clean engine compartment and even with the looms I’m just not good at hiding stuff. Gonna go back to a double pumper as soon as I can unload this it has about 20 minutes run time on it.

Other than wanting to sell the motor how’s the engine sound?

FWIW (believe me) I would only go with the Edelbrock port for the simple reason the ECM can be located inside the passenger compartment. Under hood automotive is a hell hole and any complex electronics are at risk. OEM's have pretty well-established supply chains and are able to keep counterfeit crap components out of the production. Not so sure about the aftermarket.

Really not that difficult to hide wires especially when starting with a clean slate. I’m not 100% happy with the way my wiring turned out but didn’t take a whole lot of effort to get there - and certainly not enough to give up on it. This season I’ll be cleaning up a bit more. Yours looks like no attempt made to clean it up at all. That being said - someone’s getting a good deal on that Sniper set up!
