That will be a fun car especially with the stick shift. After cruising my Duster for a few years now I'm definitely thinking I need to do something about my crappy gas mileage if I want to cruise further.

I can also attest to the ignition control improvement on these F.I. systems. I installed an Edelbrock E-Street 2 on an Eddy headed 440 Cuda for one of my customers and oh what a difference! I saw massive low end torque improvements in driveability when we added this feature on the Edelbrock system.

Andy, sorry if I missed this further up in the thread. Could you have locked out the MSD distributor and let the Sniper control timing that way?

Yeah, I've got an MSD Pro Billet on the motor now. Never attempted wiring the Holley for timing control yet. $250 isn't bad at all. Should be able to make most of that back in selling the MSD.
Would you see any issue in running it with an old analog MSD 6AL box? You're running a roller cam too, right? Did you have to swap out the iron gear?
Thanks Andy.

Exactly, the MSD pro billet distributors are $330 new so you can usually sell them for $200 pretty easily. Your MSD box should work okay. Just study the wiring diagrams in the Holley instructions to make sure you can hook it up. I think you just use the points wire to trigger the MSD box. Yeah pretty sure it is the white wire.. love this injection stuff

I installed the Trick Flow intake and the Hyperspark ignition system. Just need to button up the wiring and then she'll be ready to go again. This is a little off topic...who's valve covers are those Andy?Very clean look. Also, any decision on the water neck/sending unit piece?Would like one for sure. The water neck spacer for the coolant sensor is now in production. I have them in stock so you should be able to order them from any of the dealers who carry my stuff. http://arengineering.com/products/thermostat-spacer-with-efi-sensor-port/

Apologies for the hijack here but what studs are you using on the water pump to block? I've had a gasket go behind the motor plate at the track before, this set up would make it a bit easier. TIA I would love to have this answer also

Thanks. Here is an installed picture. Hey Andy Your water neck adapter is really good looking and aims the sensor in a way that the wiring would be real clean. On mine I have two senders in the water pump where you have blue anodized plugs- one for the autometer in my dash and one for the holley ecu. Is there any reason you didn’t use these? Mine read pretty dead on together and the factory sender was already using the outboard port on my donor 400 motor. It’s funny- while I already had an innovate wideband and autometer water temp installed I was about to put in a vacuum gauge too- duh! MAP sensor is the same thing once I learned to read kpa! I do enjoy the redundant gauges though since the 3.5” screen is too small to watch much and I have it inside my glovebox door. The sniper & hyperspark has been awesome so far- best $ I spent after the 512 stroker kit. Thanks for all your time on the different forums we’re on!
