    Holley sniper timing question

    I hate to push the Holley forums again but there are at least two guys on there that do remote tuning so there's no real need to find someone local. There are tons of videos on You Tube as well. YT actually helped me when I was learning about EFI. The wiring is the most important part of the...

    Holley sniper timing question

    It probably sounds like a bunch of gobbledygook when you are just reading about it but once you get into it this will all make sense. As long as you have a grasp on the traditional tuning process, the program itself is pretty basic. If you can perform basic computer functions like “Save as”...

    Holley sniper timing question

    Guess I misunderstood the Excel file idea but unless I'm missing something, entering timing values in Excel and then copy/pasting them into the Holley software seems like an unnecessary step since that's exactly what the Holley software does when you create a new table. You have to input the...

    Holley sniper timing question

    The image below is of a base fuel table but your timing will obviously be inferred from it. The blocked out areas are not set in stone nor will they be the same for every engine but it's a good starting point. There will be overlap between most areas too so you will have to drive the car, see...

    Bogart Racing Wheels making Super Trick Style Wheels

    M.W. Fleas are solid face magnesium. Kinda weird looking if you ask me. Very few out there even when new. Not a fan of the reissue Centerlines. The centers are fused to the outer hoops, there is a seam around the circumference. I’m a front runner guy and have a few different sets. Except for...

    Bogart Racing Wheels making Super Trick Style Wheels

    Yeah, 10-12 years ago $400/wheel was a lot. He was a one-man operation though and what he was trying to do without any corporate backing was probably cost prohibitive. He was always a bucks-down guy and tried all kinds of different hustles over the years most of which never panned out. It's too...

    Holley sniper timing question

    Creating custom timing and fuel tables is the best way to get a thorough understanding of the software. Once I did that, everything became clear. Post #3 by gkent is correct in that these concepts are the same as a carbureted engine but the graphical interface really helps you see it as a whole...

    Bogart Racing Wheels making Super Trick Style Wheels

    Not that this is worth anything now but several years ago someone I used to know out in Southern California was trying to get a forged, one-piece Super Trick-style wheel on the market. They were called Trick Wheels and were actually awesome. It never really got off the ground though and he kind...

    Holley sniper timing question

    Give it as much initial as it will handle. The essentially bone stock, Sniper-equipped 383 in my old '68 Coronet was fine with 18-20 initial. No need to weld T-slots or anything, just program it in. You can go cell by cell if you want to get that far into it. Being able to control the timing to...

    1973 Coronet "2 door"

    I don't mind the bumper that much but I had that exact thought as well. That scoop is borderline bizarre though. It's like a teardrop/aero/cowl/bulge/pillow-under-the-covers lump.

    1973 Coronet "2 door"

    Here's a bulge hood. Very nice color on this car, looks like F8 green. Still can't get past the extra door though.

    1973 Coronet "2 door"

    Tony Defeo says it won't work but I disagree. He even discusses doing it on a 4 door Coronet he has (go to 2:45 in the video). The problem is he lumps the '71 Coronets in with the '68-'70 cars and says nothing can be done to make the '68-up models into a 2 door. To be clear, the '68-'70...

    1973 Coronet "2 door"

    Just had the thought that ‘75-up Charger/Cordoba inner door structure and glass may work. Those doors would certainly be long enough. Same platform too. Or maybe C body 2 door glass.

    1973 Coronet "2 door"

    That was my initial thought about the Charger doors, they were too dissimilar. Maybe you'd be use the inner structure and then attach the Coronet door skin to it. Like I said, the Charger door height and length should at least be in the ballpark. I also believe the front curvature of the Charger...
