Has anyone put a Sniper EFI on their B-Body yet, especially a 318? Just curious how the linkages align and if I need to order anything else with the basic kit.

Done fitech but not Holley, however, my buddy is a Holley rep and they appear to be essentially the same. I'll ask him and maybe even put my eyes on the actual unit next Sunday
Summit can't keep them in stock.
Holley SniperHolley or fitech??
The only manufacturer that seems to be different when it comes to linkage connections is Edelbrock. Every one else uses the Holley carbuerator style side linkage ( on their TB's) which pretty much connects to existing linkage systems on older cars regardless of make or model. You can never really tell what auxillary pieces you might need until you get the Sniper mounted but brackets etc are readily available most everywhere. I have found from previous installations that the built in throttle return spring on most TB's negates the need for external springs and TB's lend themselves to cable style kick-downs.Has anyone put a Sniper EFI on their B-Body yet, especially a 318?

Jim, the Holley Sniper is what I have been wanting to do. I've been creeping on some of the blogs per the Holley web site to see what is actually being said. The one thing I found that I don't like is the idea of having to put in a single plane intake. Here you will find other pros and cons that others are having. This why the carb is still on there.

What? I just put an Edelbrock Performer on mine. Why is that? I will run through the forum later today...
I have the fitech on two cars with edelbrock dual planes.
I was thinking that this morning on my walk to the store for coffee. I almost pulled the trigger on the Go Street a month ago then changed my mind. Is one a Mopar? What about the linkage/kick down. Anything I need to buy?
Danny Cabral was the tech guy from Holley that answered the guys question about manifolds. I haven't emailed him directly about my set up but that was the reply given.
You can also google dual plane intakes and efi and there is plenty of discussion.
Maybe fitechs signal pickup is different, IDK.
Sure like the looks of the Sniper though.
One is a mopar but it's a 4 speed and I used the Holley throttle bracket they sell at summit to get the throttle to work. You'll have to do the same with the sniper. I just feel the Holley and the fitech are about the same
