Default EFI System

Looking to install Holley Sniper and was just wondering if any of you guys have pulled the trigger on this upgrade. Will the GM breathe fit on the EFI??
Thanks

Just installed one on my BBC Camaro, Drop base air cleaner did not fit without mods. Needed to make clearance for the front mount fuel fitting, but if you use the two fittings at the back of the unit, you will be fine. Also, I did not like the feel of the throttle so I extended the bracket up 3/8”, had to make room for that too.

Do like the EFI, works great!

Sniper on my Small block ZZ5. Had the same issue with the drop base hitting on the front passenger side fuel inlet. 90 degree AN fitting. Solved the problem by adding a 1/4" or maybe a 1/2" extension between the unit and air cleaner.

I tried a drop base but didn't fit …
So I used a stock '64 - '65 350-365HP air cleaner fit on my '66 327 without issues.

The 69 just got the Sniper upgrade. I used a separate regulator mounted back at the fuel tank [thanks Redcruz] to eliminate the second fuel line, needed to relocate the rear right port to front and have the pressure line to the left rear. Needed a 1/4 inch spacer on top of EFI as you can see in picts. Using original 1969 air cleaner housing. T
