  1. I see the Holley and Tanks inc (same tank) say the fuel pump has 1/4” inlet/outlets. The sniper manual says not to use less than 3/8” fuel lines. Is that going to be a problem?  That is the setup Holley recommends for the sniper but they contradict themselves. 

  2. Hey guys, going to be installing a Sniper fuel injection unit. It comes with an external fuel pump. Looks like it needs a vented tank and my 70 is sealed. I understand I can use a vented cap but it will leak fuel as it sloshes around. Since I don’t have a return line either I was wondering if anyone knows of a sending unit that will fit the stock tank that has 3/8 out and return lines and also a vent line?

  3. Damn, I was afraid of that. At this point by the time you factor in all cost and trouble maybe it would be more cost effective and easier just to get a crate motor to drop in and keep the stock one.

  4. Hey Guys,

     

    I'm looking to get New heads, intake, and cam. It's going in a stock 350 with 115,000 miles on it. My question is, can I just put the new cam in or should I change the cam bearings too? If I should change the bearings can I do that in car without removing pan and crank?

  5. Sounds like the junkyard route is the way to go for me. Is there a preference of fan to get or just one that is big and will fit the dimension of the radiator? Do you guys notice the engine getting dirty quicker with the huge shroud being gone? Also what would you expect for a horsepower gain on a stock system, 2or3? One last thing how do these fans know when to kick on? Do they hook up to where the stock temp sensor is on the drivers side of the block?

  6. I've owned the Monte since 1992 and it never spit this much water out and its really black to. I have to put cardboard under the tips when I start it and let it warm up, so it dosn't stain the driveway black now. Even after driving it around and I come home and it's still spiting water out. If I'm running rich wont it smoke not blow sooty water? If it is rich do I have to buy an air/fuel ratio gauge?

  7. Put on new timming chain and oil leaked from gaskets so I pulled the engine to replace gaskets, retork heads, and clean and paint engine. Also put in a HEI(using 12V power), and Road Demon carb. Now the exaust has black, sooty water splattering out!!! No smoke just water adjusted air/fuel mixture screws as it says in demon manual but if I open the secondary screws at all it start to smoke. So I have to leave them completely shut which is kind of weird. Otherwise seems to run fine. Also I notice a very slight poping or missing sound from the passenger side exaust. Any ideas on my problems guys? .035 gap on plugs, 10-12 deg advance, vacumes fine, fuel pressures ok, not sure on compression.
