Holley Sniper EFI update

I have the Holley Sniper EFI on my 350 and problems with a slow start.
but i read about it in the holley forum -> main and secondary opens at the same time.

Now there is a firmware update and a rod:
"Holley 4010 & 4150 Mechanical Secondary Linkage Rod"

I have ordered this rod, but it is still traveling in USA
so i tryed to build it self with 4 mm copper rod ( little more than 1/8" )

the first one was to long, the second to short, the third was good

the third on the picture was the original rod


here is the new rod in place


now i come out the garage without barking tires

 

Nice work! About to finish up my Holley Sniper on my 70 GS. Is an external throttle return spring needed on the Sniper?

Thanks.

 

no there is no external throttle spring

Maybe you have also the loud hiss and need a thick gasket or spacer:

Holley STRONGLY recommends and external throttle return spring

 

Not finding a great spot to mount the spring.. I'll keep looking.

Had the Holley Sniper out for it's first 10 miles just now. What a difference in throttle response, zero detonation, AFR looking good. Really feels like a different animal. Now to drive it and let it learn.

 

My Holley Terminator came with a throttle cable bracket that had two small holes drilled in it for the throttle return spring(s). Does the Sniper not come with the throttle cable bracket?

 

There are holes for either 200 4R or 700 R4 kickdown but not finding anything with the correct geometry. The smaller holes won't take the bend in the end of the spring. Will get into it and figure it out.

 

after reading about the recommend external throttle return spring
i have found out my old spring fits this way
