    Mine acts moody like that too. I think it may be weather related or maybe it's just me driving a little sloppy

    That's what Holley tech asked me to do.

    I modified the stock linkage arm for direct linkage and have great tip in and 70% WOT. I did add a return spring. It works very well both crawling and on the road. I can feel the engine twist in the mounts corresponding to pedal induced torque. I am not completely happy with the sniper but...

    It's more efficient at turning bad gas mileage to more power. If you are used to driving a smogged 2f, you will appreciate the difference. If your engine doesn't have even and good compression, EFI is not a good idea. The carb is more forgiving and EMP resistant. Plus you have a cool lighted...

    Yes, way more rich than I thought it should be. This was recommended by Holly tech because of stalling issues after engine braking before a stop. I have yet to get it tuned by the laptop method. I'm getting some smoke from worn valve seals now that I suspect is playing hell with the O2...

    Good point. I may need a smoke machine.

    My O2 sensor is in the "test pipe" cat' area at 1:30 position. What's whis fuel prime multiplier? To me 5 minutes to swap in another Bosch unit. The wires are the perfect length to avoid the exhaust and throttle stuff. The poor girl might be suffer from "short distance driving syndrome"...

    This seems to be the official Sniper thread so I'll ask here. I've fouled another O2 sensor after just a few weeks. It was fine until this morning. It was 20° F and on initial start up, the engine fired, stumbled, and died. Cycled the ignition, stumbled to life and I walked away to let it...

    This is an understatement. The sniper hates blow-by. I'm on my 3rd O2 sensor already. I have a spare head ready for a valve job.

    I rebuilt the unit and lubed the 'bushing well' with high temp wheel bearing grease. The spark was grounding through the dissy shaft and it turned the old lube to gum. Also, if you haven't checked your valve lash, this can create some serious tuning issues. I recommend a vacuum gauge to help...

    I had serious backfiring issues. It was the the advance on the HEI.

    My sniper definitely prefers warmer ambient temps on start up. On really cold winter days I sometimes have to restart it. Usually it will stumble along for several seconds before it goes to high idle then I let it idle for two or three minutes before driving or it or may stall. It does blow...

    That's half as much as most! This is something we should all have as a spare if you have a sniper.

    My o2 sensor is acting wacky again. The less expensive replacement: Bosch WBO2 Now to find the best deal.

    I did try it😄. I got some white smoke, readjusted the valves, even beat on the closed valves with a hammer. Now I'm doing the next best thing until I can pull the head and that is living in denial.

    I got a flicker on the MAP that indicates a valve not seating properly. I suspected it was playing hell with the Sniper. It still runs pretty good but I'm hesitant to pull the head as I'm so busy and need the rig.

    You really ought to try the extension arm.

    You think? I got the stuff to convert to lokar but the direct seems to work fine. It is simple. I can feel the motor rock in its mounts at the pedal. I have good throttle control. Seriously asking.

    I still have not noticed any issues running it to weak vacuum at the air cleaner. Although once I filled up in the cool evening, drove 2 miles and parked. The next day was hot AH and gasoline pushed its way up the vent lines, filled the canister, and was siphoning onto the driveway. I will not...
