I’ve been putting together a mental list of repairs and upgrades I’d like to tackle on my 60, so I can start prioritizing and planning (and budgeting) Among other items on the short list, I want to desmog and get a carb rebuild/tune, however I’ve been digging into the possibility of going EFI with a Holley Sniper setup instead.
In looking at the options again yesterday, I noticed that Holley now has a kit that includes an in-tank pump and return fuel line:
From what I gather, people are generally relying on the mechanical fuel pump or adding an inline pump when going the sniper route (still trying to better understand where the power surge tanks come in to play - more reading to do). To me it seems like perhaps this new kit with the in-tank pump simplifies some aspects because it is more of a self-contained system (no need for PS?), however it adds complication where the pump needs to be added to the fuel tank (cut into the 60 tank or maybe use a 62 tank?)
For those familiar with the sniper setup, what are your thoughts on using this in-tank pump option?
