After waiting over a half year due to back order, I just started my Sniper EFI conversion last week on my ZZ5. Will be using a Tanks inc.tank with in tank fuel pump regulated close to the tank with a filter regulator and feeding it with the 3/8s fuel line. so far so good as far as the installation goes. Its been fun. Hope it stays that way all the way through with a successful completion and start up. I'd like to thank forum member Dembo for posting pictures of his set up a while back which got me a good start. Stay tuned for more pictures any feedback is welcomed!!....

Reason: adding a sentence
Does a '74 have a vented fuel cap? If not how are you going about venting the tank?
I want to do this soooooo bad. Please let us know how you like the Sniper because I'll eventually do this and I'm reading everything I can on the Sniper and FiTech systems.
Mid 71 they went from a vented tank cap to a non-vented tank cap. The pre- mid 71's vented via the gas cap. The mid 71 and up vent through the charcoal canister.
74 - non vented gas cap.
Non vented tank caps had a vapor liquid separator on the left side of the tank - that hooked to a vent fitting / line on the tank and the steel line to the Charcoal Canister.

I am considering putting it on my 73 496 and am doing the research now as well. I'm very interested in this thread and the OP's results.

I put a EFI system (MSD atomic) on my 69 GTO and I love it. It runs so smooth and gives instant response when you press the gas. I can easily light them up at 40mph if I'm not careful, haha! Just be aware that if it's like the MSD system, it takes a few starts for it to learn what the car needs and doesn't need.
Why are you using a regulator there? I thought the Sniper had a regulator in the throttle body eliminating the need for one. Am I mistaken? I'm planning the same upgrade, tank and all so I really appreciate your post and pictures.

Yes it does have a built in regulator but my return line would be too small and I want to minimize the use of hose all the way from engine to the tank.. this way it spills back to tank from about a foot away via Steel tubing.

I like your idea of minimizing the hosing. What part number for the regulator and where did you get it? T
