Anybody put Holley EFI on an F2 and regret it? (1 Viewer)

[DangerNoodle]

Yeah but @cbmontgo loves driving around with no power on bias ply tires. He would not know how to act with more than 89 Hp

Very true....

 

[cbmontgo]

Meh

What kind of MPG increase does the EFI swap usually net? Wondering how it compares to a 5 speed upgrade.

I had Jim C. rebuild my car nearly 20 years ago. It was like getting a new cruiser.

I’ve noticed no MPG increase.

Thanks Nolen.

I had the same results as @wngrog in MPG no notable change. A big change in hot and cold starts and general improvement on normal running on the old standard F engine

I’m running a Jim C recurved FJ60 dizzy coupled with a Kelly G (me) rebuilt ’76 carb on my ’77. All I can say is there was a noticeable improvement in performance when I upgraded the dizzy. No issues with hot or cold starts or vapor locking. I’d be interested in driving a 40 with the Holley setup to see the difference.

In the long run I think I’d rather save my chips for a 3FE swap if and when my 2F folds. I think that’s a great TEQ gasser motor in a 40.

I can honestly say...as a Toyota homer through and through, the EFI from a 3FE is dinosaur stuff compared to a Sniper. Too much BS going on. Zero chance I would chose it over a sniper

Sniper on a 1 n a half F. Loving it. Huge change in starts and responsiveness.

I would agree, the only way it would be substantially better, is with an aftermarket ecu.

I just spent about $500 rebuilding a 3FE fuel rail.

I can’t stand the fact that it had to be all put together to run.

I underestimated the amount of “rigging” you’d have to do. Compared to a gen 2 Camaro where everything you need is made by Holley.

i Would say the more original your FJ is the easier it will be.

Any specific distributor that pairs best with Holley Sniper EFI?

My personal preference is the Davis Unified Distributor DUI

I`m just running the stock dizzy for the 69 with PerTronix instead of points. Runs great

Has anyone had one sit for months? any issues with it?
I don't drive the FJ40 much in winter (too much work putting the top on, don't like getting wet).
And I am concerned about not starting it from November to March.

My has been sitting since august, and I can walk over at any point and it will fire right up, so no. I would use fuel stabilizer if it’s going to be sitting.
