1974 EFI by Holley Sniper

Breaking in my Holley Sniper system by having it learn on it's own. So far very happy with it after a shaky start.!

Did you have any troubles with the fitment of the gas tank straps, particually the strap that goes over the bridge at the sending unit? T

I thought it was going to be worse from what it was but not really. I ended up locking the bridge to the strap all the way toward the rear of the strap since the holes are oval adjustable and the BIG key to making it easier is using a long ( I used a 3 foot Crowbar) bar to pull down on the rear side of the straps and push in toward the bolt holes!! Good luck!!!

Where did you mount the o2 sensor in your side pipes?

I have the 69 style side pipes. I placed the sensor on the passenger side where the pipe is perpendicular to the car, before it curves back along the rocker.

Well I got her fired up. Somethings not right as it took forever to start. Idle is 1000 rpm's. I'll mess with it tomorrow and see if I can figure it out.

To the right is the front of the car. You can see the edge of the sidepipe to the left. about 4 o'clock. on the inside. I had no choice . It's better to get reading from all 4 cylinders on that bank from what I understand! they say the condensation settling at that angle will cause it to eventually per-maturely fail but I have to problem replacing it when it does as long as it runs at it's best.
