so far it ain't really broke, but the potential may not be fully unlocked.. but, having an 'orphan' doesn't help... and, all the current systems will also be orphans, sooner than later....

...another factor that LS fans would say make the LS package a no brainer...heh heh!!

Holley and others have been around a long time though...maybe the technology has just about refined itself enough to last as long as internal combustion engine (as we know it anyway)
Or as long as there are custom cars...providing we can still get fuel.

Heck the carburetors may out last the efi's ...lol?

wmf62

no doubt, carburetors will last and last and last... with less complicated things to turn to sheet...

ACCEL has been around for a lonnng time too, and what i'm using will continue to work until it doesn't work... and i'm not sure that Holley isn't a Johnny Come Lately to the EFI business, but eventually you can count on their stuff being 'orphans', but like mine, it will continue to work until it doesn't work....

I don't think I have any pics handy. What i did was use a drop base air filter from Universal Spinners. When I ran a shorter intake and carb, it would just barely clear. With the taller later intakes, I left the lid off and used a K/N filter that just perfectly fit the gap. It would seal to the hood when shut. In fact it usually would stick to hood when I raised it. I'm sure it wasn't perfectly sealed but worked. But I will admit...this old 540/555 has spent more of it's life running around with no filter than with one. No wear issue so far.

On the turbos I've got two K/N style filters on 90* elbows in the gill area to keep junk out of them.

I did some articles in Corvette Enthusiast on tuning/installing the Holley system. A couple on my car and one on a TBI setup on a 388" '65 convertible. I don't think they're on line anymore though. It's a pretty neat system.

NOTE: Almost forgot to mention...my car has 1" spacers between the body mounts and frame to raise the whole body 1". I did it for hood clearance when I ran a Super Victor intake and Dominator carburetor. Gotta be a little sneaky!

Darn Jim..
Somehow it got past me thru the years that you had done articles in Corvette Enthusiast!
I don't guess you have a stack of extras copies laying around on the Holley Tuning do you. It sounds like that is exactly what I'm trying to bone up on with this thread. I guess I am years behind on that too...as usual..lol.
Good idea on the one inch body shims for hood clearance. I know I already have 2" more than a stock chassis but another inch would make it possible to run a taller intake and a size bigger AFR head on the sbc 427 I'm contemplating...air volume being the biggest problem with deep breathing sbc's due to low hood clearance and poorly flowing short intakes.
Interesting concept using the air cleaner element with no top. A soft foam seal could be adhered to the hood to assure the air cleaner was even better sealed if needed....and still utilize every smidge of the clearance available . Hmmm..interesting.
Thanks for the post...very helpful information.
Best regards...Stan

I did quite a few for Corvette Enthusiast and Auto Enthusiast. All sorts of topics. Since they changed hands all the old stuff is gone now.

PM sent.

Stan:

If you are considering the Holley system, go to the Holley website and download the V4 software. https://www.holley.com/support/resou...Fuel_Injection
Install the software on a computer and you can learn a lot about tuning by just reading the help file.

If you are considering a TBI system, look through the Sniper EFI software also found on the same web page.

Another good source of information is the Holley Forum:
https://forums.holley.com/
I think I downloaded about 40 PDF files when reading posts on this site before I decided on the Dominator system.

Allrightey then Charles..

Thanks for the tips...I 'm not surprised that you would have done a bunch of research...you are always very thorough...

I have been waffling back and forth between the Terminator and the Dominator stuff. Just haven't gathered enough information to make a choice yet.

...and hood clearance makes a difference on the Terminator in particulator...and the Dominator to a lesser degree.

Thanks again ...Stan

Hey Jim thanks...got the info.

This is Mass Flo seq port EFI self learning. Been perfect since install in 2011. GM MAF with Ford ECU.

That's not a combination you hear about everyday. Did you configure it ..?
No issues since 2011 either...now were talkin..good job!
Thanks...Stan

Stan it was a small company owned by the guy that designed the system. He was great to work with since he personally did tech support. Gave him the engine specs and he programs the ECU. I think that the system has been around since 2005. It is currently known as Pro-M EFI and is now offers an upgraded system that allows for tuning. I think two companies merged. But the original designer Chris is still running the company.

This was a long process, and a lot of thought, but now worth it, runs great, Throttle response is awesome, runs better than the fast EZ 2.0 throttle body I took off to do this. Had to learn to tune in myself, but now worth the effort. very drive-able.
