I was thinking about going with the basic system because it has the built in regulator and saves a few bucks. I do have an adjustable Aeromotive regulator already installed and was thinking I could clean up the engine compartment a bit by using the built-in. I'm not too concerned on the linkage as I've changed it half a dozen times as I've gone from AVS to Holley to Demon and from AT to the TKO-600. Do you feel strongly that there are other advantages to the 4150-type unit?

Also, do you know if the stock Mopar alternator will supply sufficient amps? I think my unit is rated at 55-60 amps, and all my lights are LED except the headlights and front turn signals. I have a 35 watt stereo, heater and OEM A/C with a Sanden compressor. I'm currently running the MP labeled MSD 6A box with the MP replacement distributor that was made by Mallory.


EFI really prefers a modern alternator which is one reason why I designed a swap kit to put the Denso 60 amp unit on a big block or small block. You can try your existing alternator but if you run into issues with electrical noise then you'll need to upgrade to a modern alternator.

The cleanest fuel system is to use a EFI module with the pump and regulator inside the tank. Holley sells a EFI module that drops into a '70 Dart tank. https://www.holley.com/products/fue...umps/muscle_car_efi_modules/parts/12-319
If you don't want to replace the parts you already have then you can use your existing pump and regulator or you can buy the Sniper with a built in regulator. The built in regulators are a known issue so if you go that way buy a spare and make sure you have the correct hex key in your tool box to change the regulator. It takes a weird metric hex key and the screws are locktited into the throttle body so it can be a pain to deal with.

The Hyperspark distributor will work with your existing MSD ignition box and coil so you don't need to change anything there.


I think I'll just go ahead and upgrade the alternator. I actually already have your bracket kit, I just never got around to installing it. wrench Based on everything you said, I think I should go with the 4150 style Sniper and use the external regulator and my existing pump. I did the in-tank probably 7 or 8 years ago and can't remember the brand right this moment, but it was a good one in a brand new tank, and it has been trouble free since, though I've had it regulated down to feed the carb.

Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full. I just drink straight out of the bottle.
